Bug description:
  Currently LightDM connects to an XDMCP enabled X server using the
  first suitable address in the XDMCP Request packet. However, some
  clients may put a number of addresses in this message and potentially
  they are not all routable. If the address the request message came
  from is in the list we should use that first as that is more likely to
  be a routable address. This also matches the behaviour of GDM which
  ignores the contents of the Request packet anyway.
