Oh; I didn't notice in the initial bug report that this was with lucid. I've checked and the lucid version of xdm does not have an upstart job, which means that no, plymouth is *not* signalled that xdm is starting. So this is a bug in xdm, which should have been converted from sysvinit to upstart for 10.04 LTS and wasn't. And *still* hasn't been, even in natty. Reassigning this report to that package.
