Now that a new version is available I'll send a followup - thanks
for maintaining wdm!

That was on a machine which has since been decommissioned, trying
with either a Matrox Marvel graphics card or an antique S3ViRGE.
There, the segfaults happened frequently but not invariably (but
didn't start until the upgrade to Squeeze, and always stopped when I
switched to another display manager); elsewhere things have gone
differently.

On a second i386 machine, I've seen the same versions of wdm working
flawlessly with the same Matrox card.

On a third, I've seen wdm failing in a slightly different fashion.
This one is in fact a triple-boot Debian testbed PC with a Lenny 
partition, a Squeeze/Sid partition, and a Squeeze kFreeBSD
partition; the graphics card is an onboard i8xx.  In each case,
regardless of the kernel and X version involved, wdm fails.  It
doesn't segfault, though - it just crashes over and over again when
it gets to the point of setting up the login screen.  No such
problems occur with xdm, slim, nodm, or startx.

Any suggestions for debugging?
