This is excellent! (I mean, it gives me hope :))

I must note that these are pristine F8 installations, I just went
into gdmsetup and enabled XDMCP business (again, is it just me, or
from the default "Fedora Infinity" there is no way to get to the
Chooser to login to a different box?).

Is there anyway I can debug this in any way? I'd say this is a major
regression for Fedora that needs addressing, I'm willing to lend a
hand :)
