Ok. So I've now got the right gdm - the version info mentions the
remote x explicitly as fixed. I believe my problem is now in the
custom.conf.
I've edited the /etc/gdm/custom.conf and added the following lines:
[chooser]
Chooser=/usr/libexec/gdmchooser
[greeter]
ChooserButton=true
None of this has worked. I must be cursed here or something... :)
So I tried setting ChooserButton to enable- NG.
I ran gdmchooser from the commandline and it worked so its not that.
What have I missed?

Subject: RE: Xdmxp login to remote machine via gdm
Just to address the last post on this subject - Where my problem
lies is not in allowing others accessing this computer by remote x
but this computer accessing others by remote. A search on google
produced several docs stating that only certain gdm versions will
allow you to choose to access a remote x server.
I checked out ltsp but it seems more based on allowing remote
access in this computer then setting up this computer to access
others (I could be wrong though, but I can't see where it is). I
just updated the software and went from gdm-2.20.1-5 to
gdm-2.20.2-2. No good. I've edited the custom file but no change.
I'll just uninstall this version and try and locate the version
you have mentioned to me- maybe its the key to it all...
Thanks all.
