Hello. Now I have my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess contain (only) this:
*   CHOOSER BROADCAST

according to xdm(1) this will enable XDMCP host chooser upon user login. Now I reboot, xdm login box pops up, everything like it was before.

I think it means any host can connect and asks in a broadcast. If, on your network, a host does X -broadcast your machine will/may appear in the that machine's chooser list.

I don't know if it also allows an indirect request:
    X -indirect <your X host>

Oh, and take also a note of this in xdm-config file:

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
DisplayManager.requestPort:     0


I thought there will be a bottom to click to launch the chooser (like gdm -> system -> Run XDMCP host chooser), or there will be a list of clickable hosts to send query to. Any hints?

I don't know anything about gdm. Never used it.
