My issue is running xdm using Xnest on display :1 (in order to test xdm session
related stuff), using 

:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :1

in /etx/X11/xdm/Xservers

In that mode, xrdb (used by the login widget) fails to connect to the X server
and end up with an ugly widget. Furthermore, the client session also fails to
connect. This used to work before xcb 1.8 (but I'm not sure  exactly when it
broke).

Now I see that my analysis of the issue is indeed wrong. My patch fixes it by
some kind of magic coincidence.
I'll dig further and reopen a bug later.
