Bug#883070: xdm cannot be stopped when it's running multiple servers
Hi,
I've been annoyed by what I think is the same bug for a few years now.
I've got an NVidia card with vendor drivers, and I'd like to run two X
servers on different Virtual Terminals, since it works pretty fine for
the most part, and I often need to use 2 different user accounts for
testing etc...
But when I try to shutdown the machine, the script for shutting down xdm
fails and waits for 1min30s every time.
On another machine with just one X server I noticed that if I initiate a
shutdown from a text VT while I'm logged in on the xdm the same thing
happens.
I've been able to reproduce this effect reliably on several different
machines over the years. I mostly run sid, but I'm sure the bug has
migrated over to stable as well by now.
