I'm having trouble getting the GDM login screen to show up when I connect from a remote host. I'm using Xming on the local Windows machine, but every time I connect to the remote server all I get is a gray window with the X cursor. I have "Enable=true" in the [xdmcp] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf. IPtables is disabled. I've googled around and read through the xdmcp page

LightDM seems to use the

Danny, Kristian, All, First let me tell you guys whatever you are doing with compiz, keep it up! It's looking great!

One on a x86_64 box with the nvidia driver (no problems there) and one on an i686 box with onboard intel video. When connecting over
