I've patched the vivid / wily versions since we know that X.org 1.17 is used. We still need to decide how to fix this for the LightDM project in a generic way.

[Test Case] 1. Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and set [SeatDefaults] xserver-allow-tcp=true 2. Start LightDM 3. Attempt to connect to the X server using TCP Expected result: Able to connect Observed result: Unable to connect [Regression potential] Low. X.org changed their default behaviour from listen by default to listen if "-listen tcp" is passed as a command line flag. This is just the equivalent change in LightDM. Since this is a new flag to X.org if a user was to use another X server there is a risk it would not understand that flag. However it seems unlikely since X.org is the only actively developed X server.
