+<PRE>I was looking around to figure out how to enable XDMCP support in GDM,
+and noticed something strange.
+
+In the GNOME site GDM3 documentation, they give several options for GDM
+configuration none of which seem to exist in cauldron.
+
+An example is given of using gconf-edit to access apps/gdm, but no such
+key exists. Mention is made of using a &quot;gdm3setup&quot; executable that we
+don't seem to have.
+
+Mention is made of &quot;gdm&quot; directories in various locations under
+/usr/share and /etc which we don't seem to have, and of enabling XDMCP
+by setting &quot;Enable=true&quot; in a file called daemon.conf, but the only
+daemon.conf we have is in /etc/pulse.
+
+I did find /usr/share/X11/dm.d/20gdm.conf and
+/etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf, but neither of these seem to have
+anything to do with XDMCP.
+
+I did find a barebones /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf which had an empty
+[Xdmcp] section, but adding Enable=true here had no effect on getting
+the GDM main dropdown to show a Remote Login option. It did, however,
+get the GDM server to export the host as eligible for XDMCP, and accept
+a logon. However, the GDM screen it puts up has no option to close the
+connection, or anything else indicating that it is a remote login.
+
+What do we do in MGA to enable GDM as an XDMCP client, or configure it
+in general ?
