I think I have an idea... Intel doesn't use a .so for libXdmGreet (it's 
statically linked on Intel, god knows why). I fixed this in the previous X 
packages, and my guess is that the fix got lost in the reorganisation. (I 
don't run xdm on the alpha, and I didn't think to check it.) I'll have a look 
and fix it if needed.
