Bug#363462: xdm: no login possible after restart of xdm
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6
Severity: normal
If xdm is restarted, e.g. via the /etc/init.d/xdm script,
any (valid) login fails. There is no error message, it looks like,
as xdm "restarts" the x-server after the login.
At the moment, my only known solution to the issue is a reboot.
Bug is reproducable also on a friend's laptop.
