The version of gdm in Red Hat Linux 6.0 has some bugs regarding XDMCP.
It will work for now if you enable debugging in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
Folks are looking into the problem.

Alternatively, temporarily uninstall gdm and automatically fall back
to xdm, or change the prefdm link in /etc/X11 to point to xdm.
