Found the problem with the strange login.  KDE was not installed in
the LTSP chroot.  A quick

  chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 "aptitude install $(tasksel --task-packages education-desktop-kde)"

later, the KDE environment is installed.  Clearly the package
installation part of ltsp-make-client need to be checked.

After this, the login into KDE worked.

During login, messages like this show up in syslog:

  Dec  2 15:04:58 static00 rpc.statd[2318]: creat(/var/lib/nfs/sm/tjener.intern) failed: Read-only file system
  Dec  2 15:04:58 static00 rpc.statd[2318]: STAT_FAIL to static00.intern for SM_MON of 10.0.2.2
  Dec  2 15:04:58 static00 kernel: [  229.340181] lockd: cannot monitor tjener

I suspect the solution is to add /var/lib/nfs as a writable directory
in etc/default/ltsp-client-setup, but do not have time to verify that
now.  Ie adding something like this:

  # Make sure rpc.statd work
  copy_dirs="$copy_dirs /var/lib/nfs"

Happy hacking,
