Hi, I possibly have found a solution as yesterday I finally got it to load up the GDM after months of trying. It seems the problem is related to gnome and the way the LTSP in the past took care of killing processes

the problem was only in Gnome and KDE users were fine as far as I am aware. I am told by the LTSP people on the #ltsp IRC channel that all that should be fixed from Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, which might be true now but wasn't when I tried several months ago. I never had this problem on GUtsy Gibbon. However, over the weekend I gave the new Janty Jackalope aplpha a test out of desperation and it didn't work, but the previous errors are gone. In fact there were no errors listed in the .xession-errors file.Yesterday, there were some updates to the LTSP server packages and when I tried it, it worked. Hopefully it will stay that way in future and no changes will be made to break it, but you can't bank on it.
