Bug#970211: gdm3: XDMCP Authentication is required to create a color profile

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.37.90-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

When gdm3 responds to an XDMCP query, it always displays
(at least the default installation with Debian installer weekly build of Sept. 2020)
"Authentication Required
Authentication is required to create a color profile"

One can click "cancel" and both gdm3 and gnome session work fine.
This is a minor cosmetic problem, but the default installation can be
hopefully more friendly...

I do not see a similar message with LightDM XDMCP login...

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
