[gdm-list] GDM refuses first access from X-Terminal, second works

[Michael Naugk <ng michin de>]

Hi,

I'm running a X-Terminal, which connects to my server (running the Gnome
Display Manager GDM) via "X -query". Since the last debian update (on both
machines), the GDM has a strange behaviour.

When both machines are fresh bootet, the GDM refuses the connection from the
X-Terminal (you can see it in the log). The X-Server starts and stop
immediately. Trying a second time, results the same. But when I reboot the
X-Terminal and after this trying another time the connection to the GDM, it
works. I get a login prompt immediately.

I use GDM 2.14.5 on debian sid.
Any ideas? I append my GDM configuration and the log.

Greatings, Michi;
