In the past it HAS been necessary to do this--apparently for security's sake the config files for the X server on Red Hat/Fedora (and others) default to NOT accepting client connections (see http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO.html#STEPS for example). > The easiest configuration should be: > * configure your X server (WinAxe, in this case) "appropriately".

And I repeat: I have set this up in the past as recently as FC3 a year or so ago, and it worked fine. But for some reason I'm not able to get it to work now. I may fool around with PuTTY/X11 forwarding as a troubleshooting exercise, however. Thanks for suggesting it.
