By the way, just noticed why "/var/log/wdm.log" was not updated. It was indeed the expected behavior. Somewhere around 1.27 (Seems to be 1.27-1, according to changelog, in reply to #242155), "wdm-config" was modified to have messages be sent to syslog as default, while previous default was "/var/log/wdm.log". And that happened in late 2004 amd hit me in 2005. I have checked my "/var/log/syslog" and it indeed contains wdm messages. If I modify "wdm-config" to not use syslog, messages are sent again to "/var/log/wdm.log". Adam, I am aware this bug is 3 years old and you no longer use wdm, but do you remember if when noticing the problem you checked "/var/log/wdm.log", or it was "/var/log/syslog"?
