    His post is not clear, but I think he means it the other way around
    (parenthesis are mine):

       I.e. one computer has XDM and WMaker on it, but without an XFree86
       server (the client?), another computer has a XFree86 server (the
       server?), the computer with WMaker on, logs on to the XFree86 and
       shows the XDM login dialog box (???), and then logs into the server,
       and see the whole display just as if it was on the other computer?

    It's not exactly clear what he means, though, but this business of
    logging in to another computer's display is easily achievable with
    VNC, even if he has to scrap his original requirement details,
    whatever they were.

    Cheers,
