Thanks for the patch, also thanks to Bernhard for investigation. The patch could be used but it just working around symptoms. I see multiple bugs involved here. a) logrotate job using a plain kill. This is racy, even with SysV init. We can do it better (systemctl kill function). b) service file not cleaning up the pid file. That file should be gone even when service terminates. c) xdm refusing to start when the pid file exists, although the process is no longer running. It could check whether it's still active, and/or maybe just kill it and evaluate the errno. I am setting this to RC severity because it's just NOT ok and obvious to fix. Going to change mentioned things and NMU this in a couple of weeks if there is no further reaction from maintainers.
