GDM XDMCP Problem
Hey...I recently aquired a nice little 15" monochrome X-terminal (NCD
15r) and have been having some trouble in getting everything working
fine in conjunction with a Debian-woody box. I got the thing to boot
with no problem using TFTP and BootP, but the problem occurs when
logging into the remote machine. I'm running GDM, and the login screen
comes up fine...it authenticates properly as well, and only lets me past
with a proper user/password. Immediately after successfully logging in,
however, the x-session is terminated. I get a message on the middle of
my x-terminal: "There are 1 local and 0 remote apps running. Shutdown
windows and logout?". The following is from the GDM logs running in
verbose mode:

I've looked through various docs on both GDM and the X-term itself, to
no avail. Any suggestions?
