Edubuntu 11.10: Unity menu don't show in thin client

[James Goff]

You can add the following line to your lts.conf in 11.10 to have all 
your clients use the gnome-fallback instead of unity.  That is what we 
use with our ltsp lab.  Note:  This doesn't work with a stock 11.04 install.

   LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback"
