kdm, wdm, login.app are all based on xdm so if one does not work, they all
should fail. gdm is a complete fresh start so if anything you have a chance
there.
However xdm should NOT lock your machine. The greatest benefit would be from
you tracking down the cause of this. Others may be fighting the same issue.
