Are you using the kernel's framebuffer support to drive you video
hardware?  I have seen a similar problem on a PPC machine that was using
the kernel's framebuffer.

wdm's output is logged to /var/log/wdm.log.  Send me the contents of
that as they exist before you send the HUP to the wdm process.

It might be interesting to try xdm and see if it has a similar problem.
wdm's behavior may just be a symptom of some other problem.
