XWin --query

[Harold L Hunt II]

Greg,

I think you need to either attempt to connect from another Windows 
machine to the same linux box with XDMCP, or you need to attempt to 
connect to another remote linux machine using XDMCP from the same 
Windows box.  You need to prove to yourself that the problem is on one 
end or the other.
