this is the culprit:
tty1-tty6 (SCREEN_01-SCREEN_06) are just like on a normal debian system,
typically running gettys. trying to start an X session on top of it will
cause all sorts of troubles. see the FAQ for debian:
http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/FAQ
if you want to use XDMCP (that's what the startx screen script is for),
use SCREEN_07=startx, but i would recommend sticking with LDM (the
default) if you want sound and localdevice support. if performance is an
issue, i think LDM_DIRECTX=True should be supported in debian-edu etch,
lenny and sid (but not regular etch).
would be nice to work on an init system that was easier to tweak and not
have so many getty's running, but that's another story. :)
live well,
