These daemons need to run on the machine with the working mouse and keyboard. So, you want them on the machine at which you're sitting. But that's only half of the battle. You also need to start up a dbus-enabled session. For example, something like this in .xinitrc: dbus-session --exist-with-session fvwm That's very simplistic, but hopefully it give you enough of a clue to implement this in your XDMCP setup.
