kdm, wdm, login.app are all based on xdm so if one does not work, they all should fail. gdm is a complete fresh start so if anything you have a chance there. However xdm should NOT lock your machine. The greatest benefit would be from you tracking down the cause of this. Others may be fighting the same issue.
