gdm-2.8.0.7-1

gdmXnest should start an Xnest window with an instance of gdm but instead just starts with the black X screen. This output is given but believed to be unrelated:

DISPLAY=:20
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/OmniRadix:20
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

Maro has confirmed this behaviour so I am submitting this bugreport to hash out why this is the case. I am using default configs for gdm and all related gdm apps.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Either this has been fixed in a gdm release, or this is caused by something bad with Xorg. I could reproduce it a while ago, but it works fine now.
