Re: [gdm-list] remote manager (XDMCP) on Suse

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Dave:

If you have turned on SystemMenu=true and ChooserButton=true in your
GDM configuration, then you should be able to use the "Options" button
to start the gdmchooser program, which will allow you to XMDCP to
other machines.

Some GDM themes may not support the Options button, or a button to
run the XDMCP chooser.  You can hit the F10 key to see a menu which
will show all the options.  If you are using a theme that doesn't
support showing the XDMCP chooser via a more direct method than
the "F10" key, then you might consider using a better theme, or
enhancing your theme to support the Options button or a button to
launch the chooser.
