Hmm i use the following:

in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup:
sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER

and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xreset:
sessreg -d -w /var/log/wtmp -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER

while Xstartup and Xreset are the two scripts named in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config:

DisplayManager._0.startup:      /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup
DisplayManager._0.reset:        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xreset
