I can't help with xdmcp, but if you are connecting from something
capable of running the x2go client (linux/windows/mac) you can use
that instead ([packages in EPEL). It doesn't work with the stock
gnome3 desktop due to the 3d requirements, but KDE or the MATE desktop
from EPEL work fine. (MATE is a fork of gnome2 and has a very familiar
feeling...).
X2go has the advantage of being able to disconnect/reconnect sessions
and will have better performance than native remote X on networks with
latency.
