I intend to use GDM. But does GDM use the configuration file Xaccess or 
another way to restrict which XDMCP clients (by hostname or IP address) 
are given allowance to connect and get at remote login window (Greeter, 
gdmlogin)?
As long as could see when enabling XDMCP, only the number of hosts or 
concurrent sessions can be specified.

I don't understand what you really meant here.
But would e.g this command on the SS1 XDMCP client work to attach the 
SJDS/Gnome host also as a fontserver (and login/session host)?:

X -nobanner -query -fp tcp:/SJDShost:7100 SJDShost

This problem/question has been solved on the gnome themes list at:
