Ok, I have played around a bit: - The last gdm 2.20 from ports compiles, installs and runs fine without a problem (as far as I can tell by now, since my test machine is still working on the libxcb-update). If I'm not the only one who is dissatisfied with gdm 2.24, re-adding 2.20 would be nice. To sum it up again: - XDMCP-Chooser would be there again - listening for XDMCP-connects would be working again - installing themes would be possible again - gdmsetup would be back - There are patches for gdm 2.24.1 that seem to solve the XDMCP-problem on Fedora 10. I'm not a programmer, but I tested the patches and managed to get gdm listen to UDP 177 again, but another problem came up with the patched version of gdm that I wasn't able to solve. So I was forced to give up for now.
