I use wdm in combination with windowmaker. While the first login works normally, if end my session and then try to log in again, wdm refuses to display the password entry field (neither enter nor tab works, both should normally switch to the password entry field), making a second login impossible without restarting xdm/wdm. On my main desktop (x86), this happens since the update of xorg-server to 1.6 a little while ago. I also have exactly the same issue on my powerbook (ppc), which was newly installed with xorg-server 1.6 a few days ago. The same issue was also reported by someone as a Debian bug, see the attached URL. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in to windowmaker from wdm 2. end your session without restarting xdm/wdm 3. try to log in again Actual Results: The password entry field won't display, making logins impossible. Expected Results: Logins should work normally.

I have the same problem with my x86_64 boot: on the second login I can proceed no further than entering my login name. I have a different - but possibly related - problem with my x86 boot: on the second login wdm crashes as soon as I enter the first character of my login name. X and/or wdm then restarts and I can login as normal. The following fault is logged in /var/log/messages: wdmLogin[4705]: segfault at b9 ip b7f5f203 sp bfc8d054 error 4 in libX11.so.6.2.0[b7ecf000+11d000]
My other laptop, a Sony Vaio (x86), also shows the behaviour described in the previous comment; after a session has ended, attempting to start a new session immediately crashes wdm with a segfault: Oct 28 14:29:37 sphinx wdmLogin[5342]: segfault at b9 ip b7fd976e sp bf82c5a4 error 4 in libX11.so.6.2.0[b7f53000+111000] Also, on all affected systems I notice this error message repeatedly in /var/log/xdm-errors.log: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"^M after 1790 requests (1790 known processed) with 0 events remaining.^M
(In reply to comment #0) I can confirm this on the following: * x86_64 * x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 * x11-misc/wdm-1.28-r1 I also do not have have the ability to enter a password for shutdown or halt. They cease to work and I'm left with console shutdown and power button press.

I am not sure what version of WDM it was running.
A fix for this bug has been posted at Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472703#65 Specifically by setting the terminateServer resource in the wdm configuration file: --- wdm-config.orig 2009-10-07 19:00:10.050101124 +0100 +++ wdm-config 2010-02-02 14:07:41.468049250 +0000 @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ DisplayManager*session: /etc/X11/wdm/Xsession DisplayManager*authComplain: false DisplayManager*wdmLogin: /usr/bin/wdmLogin +DisplayManager*terminateServer: true ! ! display screen background--if not set or set to none, then the ! background is not set by wdm. This has fixed both my x86_64 and x86 boots.
The fix in the previous comment works on my ppc installation as well.
