I think I have found the answer to my question.

Section 2.2 Interface Stability

"GDM 2.20 and earlier supported the ability to...and the ability to run
the XDMCP chooser from the login screen. These features were not added
back during the 2.22 rewrite."

So there is no XDMCP chooser on the GDM login screen (which explains
why I couldn't find it) but the way this is written implies that you can
run the XDMCP chooser from somewhere else. Perhaps from a terminal
window? Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how?

Thanks,
Steve
