Your wtmp entry comes from xdm, Bart's probably comes from a terminal
emulator.  I have this:
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
julien   :0       -                02:54   ?xdm?  14:13m  0.04s -:0         
julien   pts/0    :0.0             02:54   25:03m  0.58s  0.58s bash
(first xdm, then xterm)

I'd say looking at the tty is the right thing to do.

Cheers,
Julien
