On the clients, run gdmsetup.  On the "Local" tab, there is a check box
for "Include Hostname Chooser (XDMCP) menu item".  That will put an
option on the gdm screen to log into a remote server.

Alternatively, boot the clients into command-line mode and run:

X -configure myserver

where "myserver" is the ip address or hostname of the server running the
XDMCP service.
