Bug#923188: xdm: file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession has many newlines before #!

[Joshua <joshudson@gmail.com>]

Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.11-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Trying to use xdm for the first time in a decade after sddm destroyed itself

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Xdm logged me in to some crazy session rather than my normal kde; tried to figure out what was wrong; found /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession broken
