One possibility:

On machine 1:

FedoraMenu->System Settings->login screen->XDMCP

Check "enable xdmcp"

On the machine you actually want to sit at and work:

$ /etc/X11/X -query dns_name_or_ip_addr_of_machine_1

You should get a login screen from machine 1.

Of course, this assumes iptables isn't blocking the requisite port.

I hope this was what you were asking about.
