Of course this is possible - I still think that this could bite people,
since it is so trivially easy to set up xdmcp.

In other words, i think this nm-applet behaviour is nuts, frankly, and in
my view the correct groups should be default, and any change should require
changing that default.

It frankly surprises me that while Ubuntu does paranoid things like
disabling easy cups configuration, it allows this glaringly obvious and
ridiculous default.

Your definition of "correct" is somewhat odd...
