Fixed in portage without a revbump. Thanks Thanks for fixing this bug. However, every time xdm starts, an xconsole instance is started too, and stays open in xfce. This is a bit annoying, since I have to manually close the console window every time I start my computer. Is there a way to get around this? No idea. xdm is really a "reference implementation" and is hardly used at all. The last meaningful release (more than just bugfix and dead code cleanups) is more than 2 years old. If you want a real login manager, take a look at gdm, kdm, slim, etc. If xdm wasn't such a historical part of X, it would have been treecleaned long ago.

Is there any way I can continue using xdm without having an xconsole appear every time I log in? Sorry to post again, but to Atanas and others suffering from an unwanted xconsole instance: you can stop xconsole from appearing on login by commenting the xconsole line in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0.
