xdm does not depend on elogind for logging in, it just registers a new 
session with elogind via pam:

> grep elogin /etc/pam.d/common-session
session	optional			pam_elogind.so

Given it's optional, I think it's normal (and wished for) that it 
doesn't croak when the connection to elogind fails.

Ciao,
Gian Piero.
