Doc Text:	The string format used in error messages was not supported by the X server. When connecting to an unwilling XDMCP server, an error, a backtrace, and termination of the X server occurred instead of displaying an error message. Now, the X server supports the string format, connecting to an unwilling XDMCP server no longer causes a crash, and an error message is displayed prior to exiting cleanly.	Story Points:	---
