The other Linux machine here does not have X installed. Nevertheless,
Today I had this software installed on a firend's W2K machine, talking
to RH7.1. Once xdm was set up everything worked fine, and the xlogin
screen never showed up. I am rather sure that my problem is related
to one of the .xinitrc programs, I will now check it now...vi..test...
vi...test...vi...test...buggers!

So I disabled most of my .xinitrc and then re-enabled it progressively.
This strategy seems to have scared the gremlins away since at the end
I had it all enabled and no xlogin in sight. I will have to attribute
this one to the POTM...
