RE: XDM seem to hang until I reboot.
Umm... Sounds like you have things setup pretty well. I assume you have
"allow server reset" enabled in the xconfig window mode screen.
Never mind, since you are using an external window manager that probably
doesn't apply...
It appears that xdm does not get your request to be managed. I'll have to
do a little research on this mode of xdm. I don't use xdm here at work.
Some others do use it with CDE on a dec unix box. I'll give them a call
to see how their xdm is set up...

Humm, let me clearify... I guess I do not need an xserver, but it
wants to be installed when you select the xbase. I will try to
remove it. Let me see if that helps.

I have exceed setup so that I do see a single root window (which it
the backdrop of the xserver, and I have all of my xwindows pop up in
that one root window. I can easily minimize it if I don't want to
look at X. It has never failed to open exceed and get a list of
available XDM servers (there is only one). It is actually exceed's
chooser that shows up, not debian's. Once this is selected, they
next thing should be the Login screen, that never appears.

Might be something that I need to look at, but seeing that I do not
get anything back makes me think something else is hanging other than
the window manager. I will make a note to try that.
> How about a little more detail on the setup...
Most everything should be default. I callup afterstep from the
'.xsession' file, and I have made minor modification to .steprc and
exceed configuration. Exceed has XDMCP is set to "Broadcast" and
I have the IP of the linux box in the xdmcp.txt host file.
I will try removing the Xserver and Xfonts, but if I am not using
them in the first place, I am going to assume this will not correct
the problem.
