Yeah, I thought we fixed this?
You could even just have it back off to launching only once every 5
minutes when it detects a problem, and then move back to normal
behavior when things clear up. That way transient errors (are there
any?) won't permanently kill xdm, but users will have a large enough
window to at least get a prompt and fix things. In any case, the
current situation is a big PITA.
