Yes, I had noticed the w ?xdm?. This is a bug in sessreg that I am patching
now. sessreg only recongnises :0 at the moment. :0.0 or any other numbers don't
work!

But the functionality in slim is basically right, I think.

I will have to send the sessreg patch to Debian unless we are prepared to fork
x11-server-utils.
