XDMCP support in Leopard is broken. This is a sad fact. Xephyr is one way to work around the problem, as you (and others have noted) -- but it is not a full solution.

Is it a requirement that you use XDMCP? Most organizations have switched to using ssh to connect to a remote machine, and then launching applications through the ssh tunnel.


Personally I have never seen the need to run a window manager inside another window manager nor could ever justify the bloat of having to support multiple sessions on a single server, but Hummingbird has made it so easy for Windows users to have XDMCP that some demand it and in some cases (Oracle) tell me that the apps they need won't run in a tunneled window. I suspect user error but can't make too many customers unhappy.
