The clipboard thread tries to connect after the xdmcp login took place. 
But this uses only heuristics since it wait until the 3rd client connects
(which used to work fine with kdm, wdm and afaik gdm). If the gdm code has 
changed then it might be possible that the clipboard thread gets killed. But
the XWin logfile might shed some more light on it.
