XWin works on Win2K but not on some WinXP clients

Kirk,
You confirmed that you are using "gdm" as your display manager. That
means that gdm is the only properly configured display manager on your
system. So, the test you have below for xdm is irrelevant.
Lets step back and have you reboot, do a telinit 3, then do the same
thing you did for xdm with gdm instead. Please report the results of that.
I know this may be frustrating, but you are learning a lot of things
about generic X administration... you'll be a lot better off after
struggling through this and actually getting this fixed than you will be
if you get frustrated and give up. So, please, take your time with this
if you need to so that you don't give up. Let me know if you want to
take a break for a couple of days.
