what graphics card is in the server ?
 
i suspect the compiz autodetection fails for you, can you try disabling
compiz by setting.
/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default to /usr/bin/metacity 
in gconf-editor for the user you try with ? does that speed up things on
next login ?

who were these people, nobody of them showed up in #ltsp ever or filed
any bugs during hardy development ... all i can say here is that if
nobody tests during development release and gives feedback we simply
wont find the bugs.

given that jim didnt touch a line of ltsp code in 3 years i doubt that
will happen. and it would push us back to maintenance hell having to
care for the essential bits like kernel or xorg, note that other distros
started to implement ltsp5 as well (namely the are ports for fedora and
gentoo now and opesuse with going a slightly own way but attached to the
ltsp5 design at least)

so no, we wont go back, if theer are issues in ltsp5 lets fix them
instead of going back to stoneage ;) indeed that needs testers to
communicate to developers *before* a release.

ciao
