Bug#604169: [gdm3] gdm-simple-slave tries to start local X server on a host without X and XDMCP enabled in GDM

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Host running GDM are configured to use XDMCP and does not have X server
at all. But logs indicate that gdm-simple-slave tries to start local X
server anyway.

Because there is no X server on host running GDM, gdm-simple-slave
continuously fails. GDM's daemon.conf and excerpt from syslog are attached.

Please educate me if there is some configuration setting to daemon.conf
that I am missing.
