Confirmed in both vivid and wily by setting:

[XDMCPServer]
enabled_=_true_

Where _ is a space. The XDMCP server correctly enables.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Adding trailing whitespace to a boolean true value in LightDM configuration has it read as false.

  [Test Case]
  1. Set a boolean configuration value in lightdm.conf to true_ (_ is a space character)
  2. Run LightDM

  Expected result:
  The configured value is interpreted as true.

  Observed result:
  The configured value is interpreted as false.

  [Regression potential]
  Low. We just strip trailing whitespace when checking for the value "true".
