Interestingly enough, I had xdm running twice. PIDs 241 and 250.
Killing one just wasn't enough. 

The question remains, where is the init file that starts this on boot?
I've checked /etc/inittab which is a boot script, but not the right one.

Thanks for pulling me out of the mud, Carl.  On the side, did you ever
make it to Fink, TX for the Fink Family Reunion?  Haven't heard about it

the world.
