Please excuse my irrelevance again, but I don't understand why
you characterize xdmcp as a "window manager inside another
window manager". It is not. In fact I suspect that the problem
might be due to the fact that when the login window appears,
there is no window manager running at all (except if you count
OS X's native window management as a wm).
Running xdmcp would be the opposite of bloat, since you not only
taking away the cpu time used for ssh tunnelling, you are also
offloading window management to the remote server.
Just my two cents of (read: worthless) comments.

Yahoo and Gmail must die. Yes, I use them, but they still must die.
