When I tried I could not get xdm to work. It is missing the xrdb file wich is part of the xclientbase and a pain in the but to get without messing up your install. I did get kdm to work though and I like it much better than xdm. I used synaptic to install kdm then did the standard configuration changes. Then you need to create /etc/X11/Xsession file. Do a search and you should find out the format of this file. In the very least it needs to have a single line that reads fluxbox to start fluxbox ( you should have a line just before it to run the enhance script to get all the desktop stuff you want). Once you play with it some you should be able to add any number of window managers and startup configurations (i.e failsafe, etc...). You also need to change the /etc/kde2/kdm/Xserver file (go to the very last line there is an entry for starting an x server) to start Xvesa (if you are using Xvesa) with the -ac option. Don't forget to change /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc so that it allows hosts to connect. Most of the changes are standard config changes that you get from other documentation but the Xsession and Xserver change is unique.
Edit::
I am also looking at using Xterminals so right now I am investigating getting Xterminal sound to work (looking into NAS).
