Bug#334461: xdm: not just purge

[Ian Zimmerman <nobrowser@gmail.com>]

Package: xdm
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Followup-For: Bug #334461


It's a more general problem.  After upgrading to this version,
start-stop-daemon refuses to kill xdm; I get a message like

no /usr/bin/X11/xdm found running; none killed

I checked that the pid file contains the pid of the actual xdm
process, and it does.  So forking/daemonizing etc should not
be the problem.

Normally you wouldn't notice this because /etc/init.d/xdm
runs start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet and if it fails then
uses brute force (kill) to do the killing anyway.

This is why "defensive" programming is evil.
