Xdm and chooser

[Mark Blunier <blunier@ocslink.com>]

I've got my laptop networked with my Desktop system.  I'm trying
to get xdm to run chooser over the laptop.  I'm running Debian
with stock config files, with the following change.
The :0 line is removed from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

When I start X with
X -indirect K7
I get a chooser listing K7 (the desktop) and laptop
I can choose either one and they work.

When I start X with
X indirect laptop
I get a chooser listing K7, laptop, and localhost.
I can chose laptop or localhost, and X starts on the localhost,
but if I choose K7, I get a grey screen like X is trying to start,
but xdm is not running, and then after a few seconds I get the
chooser back.

Any ideas on why the desktop won't fire up if selected from
a laptops chooser?
