As it turns out using the lxdm pam file as the elsa pam file does help, but only after I first installed xdm. After installing xdm elsa then had a list of sessions I could choose from. So my conclusion is that something is missing in the elsa installation scripts and that installing xdm handles that. I tried to configure elsa using the synaptic ui, but the dialog has no tooltips or variable names to tell you what you are configuring. Don't know if that helped or hurt.
Selecting Enlightenment or Blackbox worked, but the default is "System" and that doesn't work. I suspect it's not defined, but I don't know where that would be done. I can logout and login. However, if I use this hack then I can't suspend or hibernate from the e system menu. A separate issue I suppose, probably a show stopper for most people though.
