iirc, the chooser runs on a middleman - it works something like this; you use the X -indirect $HOST $DISPLAY command to connect to a machine running GDM with the chooser; that chooser shows you the hosts, then you select one, and you are redirected to said host. Rather silly, imho. If you're running GDM on the localhost, just do X -indirect localhost :1 > > > a console (without any other X servers running)and then the 2nd > > Also not true.
