I couldn't get GDM accept XDMCP queries in Lucid. Workaround for me,
using Xnest:

- install xdm, keep gdm as default (for the local folks)
- change /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
  :1 local /usr/bin/Xnest :1

start xdm:

HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=false /etc/init.d/xdm start

voila, an Xnest window with a large friendly login window from xdm. When
logged in, I get the standard gnome desktop.

to stop it: killall xdm Xnest
