Just to clear up any confusion and speculation, LTSP in Ubuntu uses LDM for the terminal sessions by default, but earlier versions used to use GDM via XDMCP from the terminals and it can still be configured do so. This suits slower, older terminals. LTSP addresses a different need to XDMCP and both should work and be supported by Ubuntu.

Terminals use a tailored version of the operating system and do not run GDM locally - this is why they work when others do not.
