Gdm either operates in IPv4 or v6 modes, and not both (yet). You need to rebuild gdm after running make rmconfig in the x11/gdm directory. Be sure not to enable IPv6 support. >=20 > So I suppose my questions are: Why is gdm listening on a upd6 socket? > Does this imply that gdm is able to _make_ requests via ipv6?

I do it all the time.
