Really.  Describe, please, the failure in your system by xdm attempting to
invoke this, especially considering the priority you assigned the bug.

See above.

No.  The fact that Debian chooses not to ship said files has absolutely
ZERO to do with the fact that xdm supports the use of them.  You seem to
have missed THAT little bit of information.

I suppose next you'll recommend that Branden break from upstream and remove
support from the code completely.  Then those of us that actually use it
can file bugs requesting that he put it back.

Dan, you file worse bugs than *I* do.  Howinhell is this "normal" priority?
Wishlist at best, stupid at worst.
