Unfortunately this is the only linux server in my network... so I

designed for Windows XP.

From this I noticed that, yes I was able to log in to the remote
server, but the desktop that I logged into was NOT the desktop that
APPEARS from the video out of the remote server (i.e. the desktop you
would see on the remote server's monitor).

It appears as though connecting via XDMCP creates a virtual desktop and
doesn't connect to the real X display.

I do not see what you are exactly looking (and since you have the solution already maybe not that it matters) but this is real X.
Exactly the same desktop that is in remote machine.

The cursor is not moving on the remote machine but it is the same desktop.
