Currently ldm only launches a desktop session through the Xsession script if you
let it use the default desktop.  If you manually pick a different session (like
/usr/bin/gnome-session) it will run it directly, bypassing important stuff that
happens in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d.

ldm must learn how to run all sessions through Xsession.

Title:
  Session is not initialised properly when selecting non-default window
  manager

Status in LTSP:
  Fix Released
Status in ldm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ldm package in Fedora:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ldm

  Either by using LDM_SESSION in lts.conf or selecting within the ldm
  greeter the window manager to use, the session is not initialized
  properly. The reason is that Xsession is not executed, and many
  scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ are not sourced. Usualy, the x-window-
  manager (kdestart) is exec'ed by Xsession. Actualy, the x-window-
  manager is launched directly.

  Here is an example of the command line started on the server when
  using non-default KDE desktop :

  /usr/bin/ssh -X -t -S /var/run/ldm_socket_vt7_10.145.3.230 -l demo
  10.145.3.230 LTSP_CLIENT=10.145.1.17 LC_ALL=fr_CA.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=fr_CA.UTF-8 LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8 DISPLAY=10.145.1.17:6
  PULSE_SERVER=tcp:10.145.1.17:4713 ESPEAKER=10.145.1.17:16001
  /usr/bin/startkde ; /usr/sbin/ltspfsmounter all cleanup ; kill -1
  ${PPID}

  Xsession is not a standard script, so we should look to see how other
  distros are handling it. Under Ubuntu, saving the window manager in
  the home directory can be an option.
