So, I tested GDM 2.30.5-0ubuntu4 on Maverick with /etc/gdm/custom.conf set to:
[xdmcp]
Enable=true

Connecting to the system with '# X :1 -query <ip>' fails after hanging for a few minutes.

After I recompiled GDM with the compile flag --enable-ipv6 set to no in debian/rules as Sebastien suggests in #101 (available in my PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~tellis/+archive/generic/+packages).

With the recompiled GDM, I can successfully connect to GDM remotely and login via the GDM greeter, but no gnome-panel's are displayed. However, upon the 2nd attempt, I can login and get a fully working desktop.
