Hi, I also had the same problem with FC4 servers. I will try to explain what you have to do.
First you have to install GDM 2.8.0.6 or above. I got it from nrpm repository. If you already have PingIntervalSeconds=15 option in gdm.conf, then GDM configuration is ok. Then add this lines to /etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/XDMCP script: pkill -u "$USER" sleep 1 pkill -KILL -u "$USER" This script gets run when the user logs out, and also after the 15 secons from PingItervalSeconds option. If you don't have a XDMCP script alredy, you can make a copy of Default script (in the same directory) and modify it.
