I upgraded as I had in the past from 15.5 to 15.6 long before 15.6 release. Most
of past times this worked fine, but apparently now something has changed in
openSUSE Leap X setup. I remember reading not terribly long ago in openSUSE
Factory mailing list that xdm was to be discontinued as a means to start every
primary DM, including TDM. Maybe that's the reason here? /etc/X11/xdm/ is now down
from 20 files and 2 directories to 2 files:
Xservers
xdm-config
# cat Xservers
# Xservers - local X-server list
#
# This file should contain an entry to start the server on the
# local display; if you have more than one display (not screen),
# you can add entries to the list (one per line).
# If you also have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP,
# you can add them here as well; you will want to leave those terminals
# on and connected to the network, else kdm will have a tougher time
# managing them. Each X terminal line should look like:
# XTerminalName:0 foreign
#
# use such a line to enable the console login option in the kdm menu
#:0 local@tty1 /usr/bin/X vt7
# "reserve" means that the X server gets only started on request (only kdm)
# -keeptty implies that controlling tty is not detached (breaks startx!)
:0 local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -keeptty

Copying Xsession from 15.6 doesn't help.
# startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde
does produce an expected success mostly, but the xrandr script I keep in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ to run on startup is ignored, so all is mousetype, and
relative screen positions don't get set where they belong. I'll try on another PC
with KDE3 on 16.0pre and TW to see how they work as time permits....
