Copying the text from the redhat bug report so it is easier to see here.

Description of problem:
when running gdmsetup, it is not possibly to specify the number of X servers
started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run gdmsetup
2. try to specify multiple X servers
3.
	

Actual Results:  can't find configuration option

Expected Results:  the ability to specify multiple X servers

Additional info:

this configuration option was there in the graphical gdm setup utility in RedHat
7.x. why remove it?

in general: why have a less powerful graphical setup frontend then the
configuration file allows? this is the exact notion people dislike graphical
"user friendly" applications: it denies access to the possibilities of the system.

of course one can set multiple servers by editing /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, but
then what use is there to have a graphical setup tool?
