You need to enable XDMCP first (put 1 in HonorIndirect and Enable).

I still think that Options is an old thing.

I think it is possible. You just need to hit your head more. ;]

I dunno. Please be more specific. Tell us how many machines, doing what
(processes and such) are in the "battle". Names, ps lists will help a lot.

I think you need to have gdm in all those that are going to serve apps (CPU
power), and X in all those that have monitors, mouse and keyboard. A machine
can do both tasks at the same time, but you must differenciate how (gdm can
launch X). When doing tests, I launch most things by hand until it works, so
I can look at errors.

BTW, remember to restart gdm, not X only, so new settings take effect.
