This is probably to some degree distro-specific (so tread carefully), but for 
Debian and Ubuntu the ldm-theme is loaded from a symlink at:

  /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/default

Which points to a symlink in the chroot at:

  /etc/alternatives/ldm-theme

Which points back to another symlink in the chroot :

  /usr/share/ldm/themes/ltsp

You could either edit that directory (outside of the 
chroot - /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/ltsp), or consider duplicating 
the directory to a name like "custom", and then change 
the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/alternatives/ldm-theme symlink to point at your custom 
directory (remember to leave out the /opt/ltsp/i386 in any new symlink).

Now you can customise your ldm theme to your heart's content.  Well actually, 
editing the bg.png image currently has little effect on Debian Etch because 
of a known bug, which seems to result in a gdm grey background being loaded 
on top of your chosen ldm background <sigh>.
