$ apt-get install xdm
AFAIK, other display managers don't support XDMCP, except possibly WDM,
'coz WindowMaker's just so fscking cool <g>.
Launch X on the Windows box. You'll want something like the -direct,
-indirect, or -query options, forget which 'zactly.
Alternative is simply to start an X session and launch stuff by hand
from a telnet (ugh) or ssh (yeah!) session. Plus you don't have to
worry about your windowmanager crapping out.
