Indirect XDMCP doesn't work with GDM at all.  Never has.  It isn't
implemented.

So, it's dumping core or exiting due to a fatal error.  Check your
logs for info.

Which means you'll keep running beta2...

And since beta2 works while beta4 dumps core, it seems the Helix
people applied a patch they shouldn't have.  Jacob?

(The difference between beta2 and beta4 is a pile of patches from Red
Hat.  No change in functionality, and it most certainly works
providing XDMCP service).
