Well, the problem there is that ttyaction is predicated on passing a
tty name to the call. What is the tty name for the thing I log in on
with xdm? My guess is "none" :) (Or is it really ttyE5, in which case
all this could be fixed by simply making ttyE5 get the ttyaction
statement for xdmed host?)
