iirc, the chooser runs on a middleman - it works something like this;
you use the X -indirect $HOST $DISPLAY command to connect to a machine
running GDM with the chooser; that chooser shows you the hosts, then you
select one, and you are redirected to said host. Rather silly, imho.
If you're running GDM on the localhost, just do
X -indirect localhost :1
