There is arguably no such thing as an "XDMCP display". XDMCP is
(meant to) only used for login; nothing else. Once the login is
finished, there is (or should be) no difference between an X
session that you got with xdmcp from another X session that you
get from a direct X connection.
But I do see your point. With xdmcp, the most straightforward
setup would be run everything on the remote server. This is not
necessarily true (e.g., you can set it up so that the window
manager is on the local system; there are a couple of ways to do
this), but it is indeed the most normal / most common case.
But someone tells you that an application "must" run like this
then you can reasonably say that this borders on abuse.

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