i had this problem once, it turned out that the permissions on /tmp were
bad. "ll -d /tmp" should output something like this:
drwsrwsrwx 5 root root 1024 Aug 17 21:43 /tmp
^^^^^^^^^^
If this isn't right, "chmod 1777 /tmp" should do it.
If that doesn't help, check the .xsession-errors file for the user, or use
startx from a console to see the messages.

Remove the xdm package. If you'd rather keep it around, use the
update-rc.d utility:
update-rc.d -f xdm remove
update-rc.d xdm start 99 5 . stop 01 0 1 2 3 4 6 .
# This will start xdm in runlevel 5 only. Change to suit your needs.
