I added "Enable=true" in the [xdcmp] section of the gdm custom.conf file, and switched from the cde-login to gdm, but XDCMP doesn't work for me. I couldn't find a HOWTO that matches the latest gdm stuff. Anyone have any hints at what I missed?

Not sure about vermilion, but I believe you'll need at least: 
[greeter]
SystemMenu=true
[security]
DisallowTCP=false

This is because XDMCP mode is selected from the menu. Alternatively, 
compare with a custom.conf generated by gdmsetup.
