I think he has the wrong thread too. Here is what you want to do. Let us
assume the patch gdm-2.20.1-svnfixes.patch has been downloaded into the
current directory.

apt-get source gdm (this gets the source code to gdm and unpacks in current dir)
sudo apt-get build-dep gdm (this gets anything else needed to compile the above 
package)
cd gdm-2.20.0
patch -p1 < ../gdm-2.20.1-svnfixes.patch
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
cd ../

You should now have the newly compiled gdm package in the directory
where you started. Install as you normally would. Note that the patch is
for 2.20.1, but the source in the repo appears to be for 2.20.0. The
patch applies without worry, but I have not tested xdmcp since I don't
have another machine available to connect to right now.
