No solution, since I didn't encounter that problem (and I'm running xdm
in the same way) and the two of you didn't exactly give us enough
information to guess what is wrong. Did you see anything interesting
in your xdm-errors file after the reboot? (Better reboot at a lower runlevel,
otherwise the error log will be overwritten.) Also, you should run "ps" and
"top" before logging out to see if anything is amiss. (Did you remember to
leave getty on at least one virtual terminal to keep init from looping?
Also useful in order to log back on and inspect the system without
rebooting...)
