Hi,
The package is mentioned here as very popular. It's nowhere to be found, though. Google brought this: . It's getting curioser and curioser... What is it?

I found it in my outdated abs-directory:
$ grep pkgdesc /var/abs/extra/xorg-xsm/PKGBUILD
pkgdesc="X.Org X11 Session manager"
Offline
It was removed from the repos because it was deprecated.

xorg-xdm's /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession tries to exec /usr/bin/xsm and fails. This prevents logging in via xdm. Is there an alternative package or is xdm deprecated too?

for this to work, all you need to do is make a ~/.xsession file. like this for ex.:
$ cp /etc/skel/.xsession ~/.xsession
xdm read from .xsession by default, instead of the usual .xinitrc
If by any chance it doesn't log you, edit the file, uncomment the line where it calls for .xinitrc, and put there what your .xinitrc has, mainly the part where it executes the session you want.
