But what the heck? KDM with XDMCP was a feature. And it just worked.
Maybe I missed something, but am I seriously reduced to using this
complete "run X as setuid root so I can run startx as a normal user so I
can run x11vnc to use my desktop" hack??
Or is there a better way?
GDM still supports XDMCP.

My issue isn't just about having no XDMCP support, lightdm does it as
well. Its what happens when I log int o KDE5 over remote desktop. It
bombs out because opengl extensions are not found. The only way I've
managed to get around that it to start another X instance on vt5 or
something and then attach x11vnc to that. But that just seems terrible...
