Are you familiar with gdm?  I've tried xdm (which I think
is similar) and the configuration had some fishhooks.  Do
you really want to use gdm?  I normally use a simpler method.

Yes.

I would guess it's a gdm config issue.  I suggest you 
start the Xserver on BL3 by doing:  startxt
Then get gdm to look for a listening server at that
address (sorry, I don't recall the precise gdm terminology
for doing that).

On the BL3 computer:
-------
startxt
-------

On your main computer:
---------------------------
export DISPLAY=192.168.x.yy  (the address of the BL3 computer)
icewm                        (or other wm on your main computer)
---------------------------
