Subject: GDM theme not showing on remote hosts
I am using several remote hosts connecting to X over XDMCP to gdm. I
have had this set up many time before with various ditros and what not
without this problem, however this time I am using redhat 8. The problem
is that on local displays the GDM greeter comes up with the proper
Bluecurve theme and all is well, however on remote systems I.E. (when
using "X - query xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") the greeter appears in its plain
"default" state.

I have been through hoards of docs on gdm, xdm, so on and I can't seem
to find where the problem is. Does anyone have a sure fire method for
finding it?

I have set all desktops to use the same Xsetup and Xresources files and
on and on and on. I suppose I could have made a subtle error in one of
them though. Where are the settings for this circumstance supposed to live?
