All:
I've been using XDM for quite a while. After installing Fedora Core 6, XDM seems to be behaving differently. When I first logged in, it didn't seem to use my ~/.Xclients. I read a little and discovered that it was looking for xsm. I installed it and created a ~/.xsession file (which had the same lines as my .Xclients had).
Things somewhat work, however when I log in my fonts are not what they should be, and some environment settings are not getting set.
Using GDM, things work as they should.
What changed, and how do I modify my config so that XDM works as it did?
Thanks. --

Hi,

does
mv /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.broken ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
fix things up?
If so, please file a bug with the summary:
xdm should use system Xsession file

I think it took care of things. I now get the proper environment that I was expecting to see.
Logins appear to be tracked differently now, though. In past releases, I had noticed that each shell was associated with a different TTY. Now I see that I'm logged in to TTY :0. Is that how it is supposed to be?

Each gnome-terminal tab/window is associated with a separate pseudo-terminal (/dev/pts/something). Is that what you mean?
Or are you referring to utmp entries? What program are you running?

I'm running xterm's (with -ls). I'm used to seeing the following...

...but am now seeing this.

interesting. Yea, gnome-terminal would do something like
daly pts/7 :0 15Dec06 9days 0.13s 23.21s xterm
I'd file a libutempter bug report and see what the package maintainer has to say.

Bug has been filed for the XDM issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223507
I'll also file a bug for the above issue.
Thanks for the help!
