Follow up. The weird part.

So I reinstalled my old machine with gutsy (7.10) and I could connect from my new machine gutsy with terminal server and xnest in XDMCP mode.. I put the old machine in a closet ;) and connect to it and it work, do some things and poof. It's gone. Can't connect to it anymore with XDMCP. It does work with ssh -X -Y and I can run some graphical apps with this.

So I search the web, try those two patch (32bit and 64bit) and try it again. Does not work again. I switch to the simple mode type on the remote machine and it works. Just like that.

Can some confirm that this is actually happening? Simple mode works and "same has local" does not work? Should I open a new bug report or this is the same? Thanks
