The grey background with the X is the X server in the "default" state. You can
end up with this for any number of reasons.
Since you're trying to get XDMCP to work here, run xdm/kdm on the SuSE box in
debug mode and check the logs. Are you getting any connections from your
Windows box at all?
Also try to tcpdump at the SuSE box, "tcpdump -i eth0 -l udp port xdmcp" or
something.
