utres* (and a bunch of other admininstrative commands) should be specifying
"no locking" when attempting to open these files. I wonder if there's a
library mismatch that's causing the "no lock" flag to be ignored.
The real answer is that the administrative commands shouldn't be opening
these files at all. This is a longstanding piece of brokenness in a
library function that's never been important enough to be worth fixing.
I'll open a bug but since this only happens on an "unsupported" platform
it won't be handled as a high priority.

The binary is modified quite heavily. Community GDM simply can not deal
with X servers coming and going as dynamically as Sun Ray wants them to.
We'll be trying to get these changes integrated into the community
release. That might take a while. Until that happens you should be able
to get a tarball of the modified source from Sun. Of course it's 2.4.x
source, not 2.6.x.

Cool. The xmgr stuff was supposed to make it easy to adapt to different
display managers, although we didn't intend for people to do it
themselves.

One machine? Make sure nobody trips over the power cord :-)
