I don't know it really well, but I sat down and figured out the
config file system once to the point where I was pretty confident
I could make it do what I wanted.  I remember just wishing
someone had explained this to me:

/var/X11R6/lib/xdm/xdm-config is the main config file, and it
specifies other config files and scripts to run at certain times
(i.e. startup/shutdown/login/logout).  Many (all?) of the things
set in xdm-config can be set on a per-display basis, like this:

DisplayManager._0.setup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
DisplayManager._1.setup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_1
#( You have to use _ instead of : for ":0" and ":1" )
