Sorry, I've been reading this thread only today and am coming in late.
I can definitively tell you where your xdm/kdm/gdm/wdm (yes, I use wdm)
files will be found ... below /etc where all configuration files are
supposed to be located (unless someone compiling locally didn't change
/usr/local/etc to /opt/etc, but this would not apply to distro-supplied
binary packages).
What would be more to the point these days is where they would go, what
they would do if they wanted to implement remote X terminals (how to
turn on tcp and udp ports for X), and what file they would edit (
*-config, the glob being gdm|xdm|kdm|wdm) etc. Since every recent
distro I've seen turns off remote X. And at least in Debian, kdm is
below /etc/kde3/ and wdm is below /etc/X11/. But you don't have to know
that, just `find /etc -name wdm-config` (substituting xdm|gdm|kdm for
wdm as appropriate).
Back to catching up on other threads ...
Ciao,

I like your idea of just using "find" to search for the configuration
files. I just looked at how Slackware is set up, and it's different
from all of the other distro's that I've sited.
Ciao,
