IMPORTANT BUG REPORT: XDMCP fatal error

[pedro noticioso <cucnews yahoo com>]

when you disconnect linux terminal clients it
sometimes doesnt release the session when terminal is
arbitrarilly turned off hence you wanna log back on
and get a nice message that the limit is exceeded

this is the actual message

XDMCP fatal error: Session declined maximum number of
open sessions from your host reached

there is a good ammount of refferences on the ltsp
discussion list

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ltsp-discuss&w=4&r=1&s=maximum+session&q=b

I hope this helps, and it important because quite a
few times I have been told on the irc channel to use
kdm or xdm to avoid the problem, but I like gdm
theemes too much to let it go too easy 8)
