the dialog

Confirming, same behavior on gentoo

Hmmm, looking at the code I notice a possible bug.  The following line in
gdmflexiserver.c read_servers() function:

                        section = g_strdup_printf ("=%s=/%s/", config_file);

should have "=%s=/" as the first argument, I believe.  Looking at
gdmXnestchooser.c and gdmphotosetup.c, this is how they are working to do the
same thing.  Could you try fixing this and see if it corrects the problem. 
Solaris doesn't support virtual terminals so I can't test this.

If this doesn't fix the problem, it would be useful to put printf functions in
the read_servers() function and make sure that gdmflexiserver is reading the
right names from the configuration file.  The chooser_server() function that
displays the dialog is just looping over the "xservers" list that is build in
read_servers.  So I suspect the problem is in the way that the list is being
built.  I suspect that fixing the setting of the "section" variable as I
describe above is the problem.

this change fixes the issue, thanks

Thanks for checking.  Fixed in CVS head and in 2.12 branch.

The applied "fix" is wrong, see http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18889 for
a description and patch.

Thanks for catching this.  You are right.  Fixed in CVS head.
