The process address space is still on the XDMCP server, so the system daemon must be running there. The clients have mice and keyboards so they need dbus and hald. You will also need to start your dbus-enabled processes with dbus-launch, or start your local X session with dbus-launch so that a session bus is running. This session bus will also be running on the XDMCP server.
