OK, that's interesting... Just for the sake of it, I even tried
enabling the bindv6only (net.ipv6.bindv6only=1) setting, to see if it
would make any difference. Negative; it still only binds to the udp6
socket.

per(a)terah:/etc/sysctl.d$ sudo netstat -l -n -p | grep 177
udp6 0 0 :::177 :::*
1632/xdm

Do you have any active XDM setup where you could try this yourself? As
I hinted in my previous email, I'm not 100% sure of this, but doesn't
the above udp6 line mean that it will *only* work from an ipv6-capable
client...?

You were right - thanks! It turned out that I needed to modify the
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file to be able to give the client the right to
use the login daemon... Now, it worked better. :-)
