I installed Ubuntu-server 10.10 Maverick Meerkat in a VM and after
applying all updates, installed LXDE. LXDE installed it's own display
manager (lxdm), so I treid that first, no joy. It had the same problem
of eliding white space in passwords as XDM under Lucid. I then installed
xdm and removed lxdm.
It worked!
Passwords with embedded white space were successfully parsed in xdm
under Maverick.

Oops! Sorry 'bout the massive (3 orders of magnitude) typo.
That's a 500GB partition that takes almost 40 hours to create using the
"-cc" option.
