Details

In the wdm package the config files are placed in /etc/wdm but the binary references /usr/etc/wdm.

# strings usr/bin/wdm |grep /etc
/usr/etc/wdm/wdmLogin-config
/usr/etc/wdm/chooser
/usr/etc/wdm/authdir
/usr/etc/wdm/wdm-config

The wdm configure script doesn't seem to respect the --sysconfdir option. Instead use --with-wmdir:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-nlsdir=/usr/share/locale \
--sysconfdir=/etc/wdm --with-wdmdir=/etc/wdm

Possible workaround in thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=41223#41223

Thanks.
