Xvnc + XDMCP

Hi All,

Is there anyone who managed recently to start Xvnc with XDMCP on FreeBSD?

I have been struggling with this for a few days already. After switching xdm
to debug mode, I noticed that Xvnc does not contact xdm at all! Then obviuosly
only the grey screen opens with the mouse cursor, no loging window.

Xvnc seems to completely ignore the "-query localhost" argument, why?
(Starting X with "-query localhost" works fine, I can see the XDMCP messages
exchanged with xdm.)

Any idea?

(Just upgraded to vnc-4.1.3_1 but no avail.)

Cheers,
Balazs
