the X_MODE variable is not supported yet in ubuntu ltsp, add the correct
values for X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH to get the resolution you want,
the currently adjustable values for breezy can be found on:

just for a try, what do you get if you hit ctrl-alt-f7 ? 
i suspect you are just starting a second X session on tty 1 (X is
running by default on tty 7 already)

edubuntu ltsp doesnt use xdmcp at all, it uses ssh tunnels to forward
the X traffic and it does use its ownn implementation of a login
manager, gdm is not capable of doing ssh tunnels as our ltsp needs them.
