Can't type in login window via XDMCP

[Harold L Hunt II]

Jae,

Try clicking in the user name box, leaving the mouse over it, typing 
your user name, clicking in the password box, leaving the mouse over it, 
type your password, then click the Login button.  See if it logs in :) 
If it logs in, then there is something wacky with output, not input.  It 
would be nice to know which is really the problem here.

Is everything using US keyboard layouts and English as the language?  If 
not, then our non-U.S. experts will need to be consulted for further 
information.
