Well, gdm was written from scratch and not all xdm functionality is
implemented yet.

The XDMCP support is complete, though (Except for host choosing which
is nearly there).

The Red Hatters broke XDMCP in 6.0 somehow. I haven't had time to
investigate the SRPM yet.

Anyway I'd recommend using gdm2 from CVS instead. It's much more
stable than the 1.x series. Both for XDMCP and local displays.
