Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I am trying to set up xdmcp, but I cannot get a greeter screen.
I have in /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
[daemon]
RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-greeter
But on restarting gdm, I have in the daemon.log:
Nov 5 17:27:05 neverland gdm-simple-slave[3514]: WARNING: Unable to connect to
display ::1:1
Nov 5 17:27:05 neverland gdm-simple-slave[3514]: WARNING: Unable to connect to

Some similar lines appear in bug 399858, which is marked a duplicate of
