Arch Linux

The startup scripts in xorg-xdm 1.0.4-1 are still referring to /usr/X11R6/bin for some of the binaries, rather than the new Xorg 7.0 / Arch locations under /usr/bin etc. While the login window is displayed after running xdm, after entering a correct username and password, the session doesn't startup, and xdm just returns you to the username / password dialog box.

For example,

/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup
--
#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail
--

/etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup
--
#!/bin/sh
# Register a login (derived from GiveConsole as follows:)
#
/usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w "/var/log/wtmp" -u "/var/run/utmp" \
-x "/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers" -l $DISPLAY -h "" $USER
--

I could use gdm or kdm alternatives, however I'd prefer not to install all the associated gnome or kde libraries when I prefer to use XFCE as my window manager. I'm currently using 'startx' to get my X windows session running.

Thanks,
Mark.
