A couple more seconds of googling led me to the authoritative page on this:

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=150642

Someone reports a fully working XDMCP setup when they switched MDM to
LightDM (the same one Ubuntu Unity uses by default) and added the
following lines to lightdm.conf:

[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true
port=177

Note that the syntax is slightly different from my previous example:
like Simon, I haven't used XDMCP myself for quite a long time either and
apparently something has changed since then.
