XDMCP is handy in my shop at work. We use SunRay thin clients. From the SunRay login prompt you can log in to an XDMCP capable machine via Remote Login/Enter Host Name. See screen shot below.

I installed WDM on Ubuntu 10.10. I was able to log-in via XDMCP but I couldn't open a gnome-terminal or gnome-system-monitor. WDM installation appears to have broken some things. If adding XDMCP back to GDM doesn't cause major headaches I would like to see it added back. Even if I have to edit a config file somewhere. As long as we can get it working reliably.
