Public bug reported:

I've enabled XDMCP in GDM, and created an xinetd service for VNC via
XDMCP.

Any time I try to connect via VNC, gdm crashes, taking down the local display as well.
After that, gdm won't start again until I kill the "orphaned" local display.

It looks like the fix is a single-line change:
