Does xdm work fine ? Try removing all traces of wdm from your system
first, by typing:

   dpkg --purge wdm

and then apt-get it again:

   apt-get update; apt-get install wdm

See if that fixes the problem.

PS : Did you check to make sure that Cap lock wasn't turned on when
trying to login through WDM ;)
