About 5yrs ago I tried using xdm. The display -- especially
the login looked great. But I had a convoluted process to
install the thing:

1) build a .xsession that works

2) ad a line to /etc/rc.local that tested for the 
   presence of /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm; if it exists, then run it

3) kill the console getty found in /etc/ttys

4) reboot and pray -- now if there is a prob, hope you
can invert this mess!

Since then NetBSD went to the rc.d mechanism for starting
system daemons. How much will this help me with xdm?
What, if anything, needs changing to bring xdm up 
this time around? Any advice will be appreciated...
