Looking at some bugs in this orphaned package. Not sure if is a typo, but is /var/run/utmp what is used, not /var/log/utmp. Anyway, seems that in systems with /var/run/utmp there is still no log. See followup to your bug report, http://bugs.debian.org/463598 I tried removing the '-u /var/run/utmp' part from Xstartup, but seems to still not register sessions. Are wdm sesions registered at your site with the change? I compared code in wdm and xdm Xstartups and they looked very similar, so I guess this problem originates somewhere else. In the box where wdm is installed last time /var/log/wdm.log was updated was long time ago, on November 2005 for sid. I wonder what happened at that time. I think about something related to xfree86 -> xorg transition (last xfree86 log in this sid box is from September 2005).
