I wrote a webpage commenting a real case. But that case does not cover
"indirect" (I had no need for it, so I did not test).

That is right.

I have been trying too, and it should provide the chooser, but does not. So
there must be a bug, or a serious problem in our side that all of us fall
into. If you run gdmchooser by hand from an already started X (one managed
by gdm or launched by startx) it searchs for serving machines and shows them
(in my case the same machine on two network interfaces).

Has anybody managed to get GDM to work with indirect and gdmchooser?
