I don't know if I agree witha bug report against X...as the keyword there is
"misconfigured"...although you could
look at that as a bug in xdm but...
there is a such thing as misconfigured...reminds me of when I was
a tottal linux newbie I was running with RedHat in runlevel 5 (init starts XDM
on startup)
and I recompiled my kernel for the first time...forgot to compile in
a mouse driver.... xdm didn't like that at all...
needed to use a kernel boot parameter tofix it
