Looking at some bugs in this orphaned package.
Not sure if is a typo, but is /var/run/utmp what is used, not /var/log/utmp.
Anyway, seems that in systems with /var/run/utmp there is still no log. See
followup to your bug report,
http://bugs.debian.org/463598
I tried removing the '-u /var/run/utmp' part from Xstartup, but seems to
still not register sessions. Are wdm sesions registered at your site with
the change?
I compared code in wdm and xdm Xstartups and they looked very similar, so I
guess this problem originates somewhere else.
In the box where wdm is installed last time /var/log/wdm.log was updated was
long time ago, on November 2005 for sid. I wonder what happened at that
time. I think about something related to xfree86 -> xorg transition (last
xfree86 log in this sid box is from September 2005).
Thanks for your feedback,
