The chooser works when you issue an indirect query:
X -indirect <hostname> :1
You also need to modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess or /etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess
(depending on the dist.) to allow indirect and direct queries and enable the
chooser. This must be done on all hosts which you would like to remotely
access.
* <--- For direct/broadcast queries (allow ALL hosts)
* CHOOSER BROADCAST <-- For indirect queries (allow ALL hosts)
Also, make sure you do not have a line in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config or
/etc/X11/kdm/xdm-config which reads:
DisplayManager.*.authorize: true
Either remove this line or change it to false. Setting this to false will
allow hosts to connect to any display, other than :0. MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
authentication is disabled.
Broadcasts are sent out on the network when the X Display Manager is loaded.
In turn, each host contains a dynamic list of all available hosts. An
indirect query to ANY host allowing indirect queries, even localhost, will
display all currently available X clients in the chooser.
The Xservers config file only starts local X servers and is not used for
remote client connections.
