Hello Stephane, I'm still running natty with the ldm package from your PPA, as you suggested. This does definitely not work as expected: Chosing "default" from the ldm login screen does not honor ~/.dmrc. It's true that ldm somehow remembers the last session the user chose, but this is not reflected in ~/.dmrc. (Actually where does ldm save the default session? I was not able to find out.)
I have been trying for several hours and could just not predict how ldm choses the default session. Sometimes it seemd to depend on ~/.dmrc, sometimes it didn't. Since I cannot run a production system for hundreds of users without being able to predict what login session they will see, I turned back to forcing gnome-classic via LDM_XSESSION. This, at least, works reliably. Expected behaviour: ldm should behave exactly as gdm would, i.e. save the user's choice in ~/.dmrc and act accordingly. Specifically, there should be no difference if the user logs in locally on the server via gdm, or logs on remotely on a client via ldm. (Some users in our setup can actually log onto the server directly. This ldm and gdm must interact transparently.) If you say the problem has been fixed in oneiric, I will be happy to upgrade during the next off-service time, e.g., next weekend.
