The official LTSP documentation is always useful:
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-4.1/ltsp-4.1-0-en.html

Here is a direct link to the section on troubleshooting
the display manager:
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-4.1/ltsp-4.1-0-en.html#AEN991


When K12LTSP installs, it sets all of the configuration
files by running:

  /opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/K12Linux-LTSP-initialize

if you do not have done extensive post-install customization,
you can just re-run this script and reboot.
