What does ?xdm? under the IDLE column mean?

I'd appreciate an explanation of the ?xdm? listing under the IDLE column (see below) after I ran the 'w' command in BASH. I recently used 'umask 0022' but reset it to 'umask 0000' I can't think this would have caused the ?xdm?, but as a total novice, I'd like some help.

USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
harry    :0       :0               10:48   ?xdm?   4:16   0.73s init --user
harry    pts/3    :0               10:59    3.00s  0.19s  0.01s w

possible bug?
