NAME
     gdmXnestchooser, gdmXnest - run an XDMCP chooser

SYNOPSIS
     gdmXnestchooser [--background] [--broadcast] [--direct]  [--
     no-gdm-check]  [--no-query]  [--xnest-extra-options=options]
     [--xnest=string] [gnome-std-options] hostname

DESCRIPTION
     gdmXnestchooser  automatically  gets  the  correct   display
     number,  sets  up  access,  and  runs  Xnest  with -indirect
     localhost. This ensures that you get an XDMCP  chooser  that
     is  provided by your machine. You can also specify the host-
     name  whose   chooser   should   be   displayed,   so   that
     gdmXnestchooser  somehost  runs  the XDMCP chooser from host
     somehost inside an Xnest.

     gdmXnest is a symbolic link to gdmXnestchooser  and  is  the
     same  as  running gdmXnestchooser with the --no-query and --
     no-gdm-check options. gdmXnest is useful for  running  Xnest
     without actually connecting somewhere.

     The following options are supported:

     -b, --background

         Run in the background.

     -n, --no-query
