 No (but I will, and will report back).

 [...]

I installed Ubuntu-server 10.10 Maverick Meerkat in a VM and after 
applying all updates, installed LXDE. LXDE installed it's own display 
manager (lxdm), so I treid that first, no joy. It had the same problem 
of eliding white space in passwords as XDM under Lucid. I then installed 
xdm and removed lxdm.

It worked!

Passwords with embedded white space were successfully parsed in xdm 
under Maverick.

Oops! Sorry 'bout the massive (3 orders of magnitude) typo.
That's a 500GB partition that takes almost 40 hours to create using the 
-cc option.

No (but I will, and will report back).

Instead, I installed Xubuntu (using the XFCE desktop  GDM). But that 
has it's own set of (known) problems wrt to remote graphical login using 
VNC, namely that GDM doesn't fully support XDMCP, so no desktop is 
created after trying to login remotely (I had the same problem when I 
upgraded from Debian Etch to Lenny).

I'll install Maverick in a VM to check, but I'm installing a new hard 
drive in the machine that contains all my VMs and since I'm a belt  
suspenders kind of guy, I use the -cc option to mkfs, so creating 500 
MB partitions takes almost 40 hours each. I expect that it'll be about a 
week before I can report back.
