This is a feature I definitely want LightDM to support.

What needs to be done:
- XDMCP client code needs to be implemented, see src/xdmcp-server.c fo"r the XDMCP server implementation
- This probably needs to be implemented in liblightdm-greeter as it doesn't need to run server side or with elevated priviledges
- Some thought needs to be done on how liblightdm-qt would be able to do this (does it need a separate implementation?)
- I think the lightdm server needs to be involved to send the authentication to the remote session? Not sure.
- An example greeter needs to be written that acts as an XDMCP client.

This is a low priority for me at the moment, but would be an excellent project for a new contributor. I will help anyone who wants to implement these features.
