With Ubuntu desktop installs, xdmcp is disabled by default.

Why then is Broadcast listed as true (enabled)?

In: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
At: Broadcast=true

Should the Ubuntu developers mark this as false in new releases and should the 
Ubuntu desktop users modify this to false in current installs? Whether or not 
this Broadcast entry marked as true presents a security problem for a fresh 
install is another question.

chooser=true is also found on default installs, bad idea?

I spotted error messages with xdmcp in daemon log files, I don't use xdmcp, 
these error messages with xdmcp disabled should not be visible. I purged all 
vnc, rdesktop and similar remote client packages, no ports are open, the xdmcp 
error messages are highly suspect despite my best efforts.
