gdm3 not patched, debug output

I want to run gdm as standalone XDMCP server.

I add :

   [xdmcp]
   Enable = true
   ShowLocalGreeter = false

In /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf but it doesn't work (see gdm3-not-patched), gdm try to start a local X server (it doesn't work as I am in a container).

I made a patch (0001-correct-ShowLocalGreeter-standalone-XDMCP-server.patch) to :
    Get the ShowLocalGreeter option from configuration file BEFORE launching
    the gdm manager. In order to let the manager know if it have to launch a
    local X server or not.

It works as you can see in gdm3-patched.
