Just to confirm that setting remote login to plain in gdm made LTSP 4.x works in Gutsy.

Also this issue needs to be given a higher priority.
A case study : I have had cases where LTSP5 doesn't work because the workstations are of lower spec. LTSP 4.x works just fine in these cases.

But with this problem, I can't deploy Gutsy as its server (nor Hardy it seems for now)
I can workaround it, indeed, but this has been confirmed to work only on plain Gutsy installation (eg: no updates installed yet). I don't know yet whether it will continue to work after you updated it.

Another thing, it seems that gdm 2.20.2 will bring this issue back.
RedHat has managed to fix it on their gdm 2.20.1 package, but the problem returned when they released gdm 2.20.2
Please be careful not to repeat their mistake.
