The .xession, .dmrc are all in place, I still don't understand where it
is bugging, or even where I can find some debugging information. Nowhere
in the logs (client or server) do I find any usefull information. 

I even tried to add "set -x" to the scripts in /usr/lib/ldm/scripts 
but nothing came out of that. 

Any clues on how to proceed ? (I'm back on Version: 2:2.0.6-4 because
the upgrade of ltsp-client-core made things worse (no X - probably needs
to upgrade all packages...)
