Back in the days when sysinst started running postinstall after updates
there were no cases when postinstall needed manual intervention. We need
to deal with this in sysinst somehow(tm).

The black xdm fields will go away once postinstall fixed "x11" properly
(it is caused by missing resource entries in the xdm config files).
