gdm sets DISPLAY variable to IP number


Hi gnome gdm gurus!

I am struggling with gdm (2.8.0.7-57.14) on SuSE 10.
We have a remote display connecting to the server using XDMCP.

My remote display IP is 192.168.1.42, and is defined in /etc/hosts
in the server as wst01.

Connection to the server using XDMCP works fine. I get a login
screen, and I can login.

The problem is that the DISPLAY variable is set to 192.168.1.42:0.0
It should be set to wst01:0.0.

Any ideas?

Best Regards
