The easiest way to deal with this is to modify the /usr/lib/xdm/Xstartup script
to add an entry to /var/adm/wtmp as well as modify the /usr/lib/xdm/Xreset
script to remove the entry from /var/adm/wtmp. In the R4 source tree there is
support for this in clients/xdm/sessreg.c which knows how to deal with both
BSD and SYSV wtmp files.
