2) xdm and xfs (among other programs) are now in their own packages. They
will start automatically on boot if they are installed. If you do not
desire this, remove the packages before your next reboot.
dpkg --remove xdm
dpkg --remove xfs
3) The /etc/X11/config file is no longer used and may be removed. The
flags in it have been relocated to other files.
man Xsession.options
man xdm.options
man xfs.options
