Description of problem:
When I'm trying to connect with remote X terminal using indirect connection and
using gdm as display manager, I don't get a chooser and X just restarts. Query
connection works fine. When I run gdmchooser from command line it crashes.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable XDMCP for gdm and restart it.
2. Connect from other computer using "X -indirect <IP address/hostname> :<display>"

OR 
run gdmchooser from terminal

Actual Results:  X server restarts

OR 
gdmchooser crashes

Expected Results:  Get chooser window

What is the remote terminal? (another linux machine, a real hardware X
terminal... ?)

Comment 4 Pavel 2002-07-15 06:45:31 UTC
I'm using XFree86 for cygwin on Win2k, but I also tried to connect from another
linux machine (running RedHat 7.3 with XFree 4.2.0) and StarNet X-Win32. All
give same result.

Comment 5 George Lebl 2002-07-15 20:44:40 UTC
This should be fixed in 2.4.0.1 if I remember correctly.  Several more related
bugs are fixed in CVS and so I'll make a 2.4.0.2 very very soon.

Works now, I'll assume it was fixed.
