Packages
First things first. You need the following to get packages installed.
yum install -y ncurses-term epel-release xterm ftp libX11-devel libXinerama-devel
If you want to get gnome-terminal version 3.6.2 running you will have to install the following packages.
yum install -y glib2-devel gtk2-devel gtk3-devel GConf2-devel vte3-devel gsettings-desktop-schemas-devel libSM-devel itstool
If you want to use feh (image viewer) you need the followig packages to get it compiled.
yum install -y imlib2-devel libcurl-devel libXt libXt-devel libXft libXft-devel

XDMCP
It seems that XDMCP is working on CentOS 6/6.5 but does not work on CentOS 7 anymore. However, a configuration similar to the following should do the trick.
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage [daemon] User=gdm Group=gdm [security] DisallowTCP=false AllowRemoteRoot=true [xdmcp] Enable=true DisplayPerHost=10 HonorIndirect=false MaxPending=4 MaxSessions=32 MaxWait=30 MaxWaitIndirect=30 Port=177 [greeter] IncludeAll=true [chooser] Multicast=false [debug] Enable=false

.Xresources
In my .Xresources, I'm setting the UXTerm color to white on black, as well as fixing a bug with the Alt key in SSH sessions. The last line is to set the window URGENT flag when the window uses the system bell.

Tweaking dwm
Rules
What does ‘rules’ do?
The rules array allows to treat certain applications (clients) in a special way. A rule has a matching and an action part. When a new client appears (sends a maprequest), it is matched against the rules based on its class, instance (WM_CLASS) and title (WM_NAME) properties and then the given tag and floating mode setting actions are performed. The default tag mask is 0, which means the currently viewed tags, and the default mode is tiled so isfloating is False. Example from the default config:
static Rule rules[] = {
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 },
{ "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, True, -1 },
};
These rules make every Gimp and Firefox window floating and makes Firefox windows appear on tag 9 instead of the currently viewed tags.
How does the matching work?
A client is matched if its properties contain the given strings as substrings (case-sensitively) or NULL is given (which means anything is matched there). More than one rule can be applied to a client, the rules are matched in order.
How to check these properties of a client?
The xprop utility can be used to get this information: WM_CLASS is (instance, class) WM_NAME (or _NET_WM_NAME) is the title. For example this shell script prints the relevant properties of the selected client (if the properties does not contain ‘=’ or ‘,’):
xprop |awk '
/^WM_CLASS/{sub(/.* =/, "instance:"); sub(/,/, "\nclass:"); print}
/^WM_NAME/{sub(/.* =/, "title:"); print}'
