I missed that.

As it is today in git, is this what the user is supposed to see on the
terminal (copy/paste):


        RESOURCES FILE
               The  Xresources  file is loaded onto the display as a resource database
               using xrdb.  As the authentication widget reads  this  database  before
               starting up, it usually contains parameters for that widget:
        
                    xlogin*login.translations: #overrideCtrl<Key>R: abort-display()\n<Key>F1: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n<Key>Return: set-session-argument() finish-field()

The terminal wraps at 80 chars. 
This around line 753.

Similar output around line 962. One long line with \n 

        
        Ctrl<Key>H:    delete-previous-character() \nCtrl<Key>D:delete-character() \n [...]


I looked at http://linux.die.net/man/1/xdm and it is very similar.

From the app/xdm/config it looks like this is how it should look on the
terminal:

        xlogin*login.translations: #override \
        	Ctrl<Key>R: abort-display()\n\
        	<Key>F1: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
        	<Key>Delete: delete-character()\n\
        	<Key>Left: move-backward-character()\n\
        	<Key>Right: move-forward-character()\n\
        	<Key>Home: move-to-begining()\n\
        	<Key>End: move-to-end()\n\
        	Ctrl<Key>KP_Enter: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
        	<Key>KP_Enter: set-session-argument() finish-field()\n\
        	Ctrl<Key>Return: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
        	<Key>Return: set-session-argument() finish-field()


I am left with the impression that this never worked correctly.


Thanks
Gaetan
