Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.4+2
Severity: normal


I use xrandr -o left in my .xsession so that I can use my screen in
portrait mode.  However, after a recent upgrade, I find that when I
log out (exit fvwm) I don't get the xdm login prompt I'm expecting.
I have to restart xdm.

Previously, when I logged out, xdm's login prompt was correctly
oriented for the portrait mode in which I was using the screen - which
was potentially an issue, since a feature of my session survived to
affect whoever might log in after me.  However, this worked nicely for
me; in particular, it facilitated a work-around for a problem with the
fonts used in portrait mode, the first time I logged in; logging out
and back in fixed it.  I can no longer do that.

Tell me what I need to log to help diagnose the problem ...
