Bug#429804: gdmXnest show just the gey dotted screen instead of login screen

[Emil Nowak]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.18.2-1
Severity: normal

When I start gdmXnest I have just this black on white dots (default Xserver
screen or whatever it is) [screenshot attached] Instead of login screen.

I remember that few version ago it was working perfectly (something around
half year ago).
