what am I doing wrong with xdm

I am trying to use xdm instead of the DEC session manager as my X
startup. It looks good at first but after logging in and logging out
I get two login boxes! I fiddled with it for a while and have tried
using the simplest possible xdm configuration files I can thing of and
it's still happening.
It looks like it starts going wrong right away since I tried
rebooting my workstation and a ps-ax | grep xdm from a dumb terminal
without ever logging in as an X user gives three xdms running.
After a login, logout cycle I have three but two of them have new
PIDs. I get a normal login box. Another cycle and I get two login
boxes that want me to click to place (I'm using uwm). A ps shows four
xdms running. The PIDs are different for four of them.
example
first time before login
PIDs 83, 86, 110
after login logout
PIDs 83, x, y
after next login logout
PIDs 83, 1043, 1046, 1050
I am using DECwindows X not MIT X.
Any answers, questions, suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
