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.
