No.
XDMCP manages your entire X Windows session. Either you use it at startup or you don't use it at all.
If all you want is a local window manager and remote applications, then you should launch XWin with your local window manager, then ssh into your remote host with X forwarding enabled and launch your X Clients in the background (e.g. ``xterm&'').
What did you envision would happen if you were running a local window manager and you logged into a remote XDMCP session at the same time, assuming that this was possible? Did you assume that the window managers would share the screen, that a new window would popup with the XDMCP session? What were you envisioning?

Is there a way to invoke XDMCP AFTER the fact?
Once I have started a local window manager, I'd like to do an XDMCP query,
but running XWin again creates a second instance of X that is independent of
my current window session.
I tried running XDM ?!? And it replies only root wants to run xdm... But
there is no user called root on my system...
Thanks.
