Oddly enough, I got this too -- but only on my laptop (which is rarely connected to any networks). I tracked it down as far as noticing that the xdm auth file (some wierd name in /var/lib/xdm/authdir/) had keys for display #ffff# (I think it was four "f"s, but I'm not sure). Then I decided that I didn't really need xdm on my laptop and I purged it (so I'm probably not going to be much help in isolating this problem). [I didn't file a bug report because I didn't know that this wasn't something I'd done to my configuration. That, and I was too impatient to try to figure out whether I'd read all the relevant documentation.] -- Raul
