This bug is pretty crippling on K12LTSP servers, essentially meaning
it can't be used.

Essentially, terminals get to login once and never again.  I'm pretty
sure that the display isn't being _unmanaged() properly, or at least
not removed from "displays" correctly as it works the first time, but
if terminals attempt to reconnect they cannot.  Even after waiting
GdmPingInterval seconds before trying again.  In theory, this should
be a trivial fix, but I couldn't see it in my cursory glance over the
code.

I must be on drugs ... the ping behaviour was copied from xdm where
it was specified in minutes.  The default 5 will actually mean 5
minutes.  I'm just changing this in CVS to be in seconds.  Eeek.  For
a temporary relief set it to 1 and so you have 1 minute timeout.  I'm also
setting CVS to default to 15 rather then 5 seconds then.  Anything
which hangs for over 15 seconds is really really dead.  Another temp
fix is
to increase maximal connections per host to 2.  I'm marking as fixed.
