I believe that I am experiencing a similar issue on Ubuntu 9.10 beta. When I run x11vnc as the gdm user I am able to see the gdm login screen, select a user name and enter a password via VNC. After entering the password if I press the Enter key or click login then x11vnc closes and gdm remains running. It works as expected if I use -noxfixes with x11vnc as suggested earlier in this bug report.
