Description:

gdmflexiserver -n :1
gdmflexiserver -n

While trying to start gdmflexiserver into a nested window with '-n'
option, it killed X session. Xnest works ok, so it seems to be a gdm
problem. Tested on three machines, with several theme
gdmgreeter/gdmlogin combinations with same results (BTW, gdmsetup does
not run from gdmgreeter/gdmlogin).

No debug info available [at least that could be found], except for some
stuff in /var/log/messages:

Oct 18 02:22:05 linux gdm[21208]: GDM file gdm.c: line 2849 (N/A):
Cannot run setegid to 42
Oct 18 02:22:05 linux gdm(pam_unix)[21263]: session closed for user
my-user-name

Those two lines were logged each time I tested 'gdmflexiserver -n :1'
