it's in /etc/inittab. on a rh box I have the following entry that I believe does
it
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# xdm is now a separate service
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
Have to admit when I read your not I jumped out to my rc*.d directories and looked
thinking "That can't be right. All the same?" Then I remembered the respawn deal
in itnittab. This will restart xdm every time it is killed or dies for some
reason.
Hope this helps
