[FreeNX-kNX] connecting to XDM

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

hello fabian,
  thank you for your reply.  I am running the freenx server on a
japanese Ubuntu Desktop system.  The main reason why I connect to XDM
as opposed to just starting GNOME
is that when i just start GNOME my japanese input system doesn"t get
started.  Loging in through XDM starts the IM properly.  The other
reason I like connecting through XDM is that it allows me to change
language environtments on a per session bases without having to go in
and changing my default language settings.  If there is another way of
doing this without logging in through XDM, i would love not having to
enter the password twice.

TIA,
Tomoki
