Thanks for pointing that out.  However, in the given scanario, any user has 
the password for every "normal" account (i.e. not the "root" account, etc.).  
so, this is not an issue.

> So: Why is xdm support a needed feature?

AFAICS, it's not a needed feature, at least for us.  Instead of provinding the 
user with an KDM screen, one could simply display the nxclient user interface 
where the user types a login name and a password.

> What is the use-case scenario? 

User's should be presented with the kdm interface that they're used to so that 
the NX session feels just like an ordinary XDMCP session.
