GDM doesn't implement choosing yet.  I have it running in a devel
tree, but:

        Choosing is a horrid kludge which isn't part of the XDMCP
        spec.

        Choosing breaks a lot of other stuff.  I had to redesign most
        of the daemon to get it running.

        Choosing is extremely vulnerable to DoS attacks.  I have a few
        ideas how to limit this, however.

So the answer is: Yes, I'll get it merged into the main tree
eventually, but you probably don't want to turn it on unless you
*really*, *really* need it.
