XDMCP and GDM Start of a later session problem.

I'm currently running Archlinux on one computer (PC1) and Windows Vista on another (PC2). I have X11 and GDM installed and they work perfectly. On PC2 I use Xming to connect to PC1 via the XDMCP protocol and everything works perfectly the first time this occurs after a reboot of PC1 or restart of GDM on PC1. But if I log out of the session and try to reconnect to it later via Xming, Xming starts up then immediately crashes. Only if I reboot PC1 or restart GDM will it connect again. I'm not trying to resume a session or anything like that, that would be nice but all I want to do is to be able to use the desktop at a later time. If any more information is needed it can be supplied. I have a feeling either this can't be done, there's a config setting I missed somewhere or GDM and the XServer are being ran in an incorrect manner. Any help is greatly appeciated.
