See this:

root  230  0.0  0.2   144  1016 ?? Ss   12:02AM 0:00.02 gdm 

one hangs in poll() and the other in wait4():
0x482310eb in poll () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12

lsof shows an open socket for xdmcp:
gdm        230 root    3u  IPv4 0xc0e8c420       0t0    UDP *:xdmcp

but netstat doesn't see it anymore:
