NAME

       gdmXnestchooser, gdmXnest - run an XDMCP chooser

SYNOPSIS

       gdmXnestchooser	[--background]	[--broadcast]  [--direct]  [--no-gdm-check]  [--no-query] [--xnest-extra-options=options] [--xnest=string]
       [gnome-std-options] hostname

DESCRIPTION

       gdmXnestchooser automatically gets the correct display number, sets up access, and runs Xnest with -indirect localhost. This  ensures  that
       you  get  an  XDMCP  chooser that is provided by your machine. You can also specify the hostname whose chooser should be displayed, so that
       gdmXnestchooser somehost runs the XDMCP chooser from host somehost inside an Xnest.

       gdmXnest is a symbolic link to gdmXnestchooser and is the same as running gdmXnestchooser with the --no-query and  --no-gdm-check  options.
       gdmXnest is useful for running Xnest without actually connecting somewhere.
