I hope Matthias Clasen won't lynch me for giving that suggestion ;-), but
you can use KDM (from kdebase-workspace) instead of GDM. KDM supports
XDMCP.
Install kdebase-workspace and write DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" (_not_ "KDM")
into /etc/sysconfig/desktop (create it if it doesn't exist).
There are also a few other display managers in Fedora, but they don't
support ConsoleKit, so you can have trouble with device permissions if you
use those. Thus I suggest using only GDM or KDM. If GDM doesn't work for
you, that leaves KDM.

Sorry, I don't know, I don't work on GDM, I'm a KDE guy. ;-)
