Bug Description
In Ubuntu 12.10, Unity does no direct rendering which means that all graphics processing takes place on the server on LTSP.
This has a huge negative impact on server performance to the point where it renders terminals unusable.
We should probably change the default desktop environment to gnome-fallback when LTSP is selected from the installer. Users who enable diskless fat clients will still be able to make Unity the default.
This also affects the package: edubuntu-netboot

Approving the FFe for this. The change will need to be documented in the release notes/announcement for Edubuntu and we may have to update some screenshots on the online documentation. Though as it stands, we don't have any so there's no immediate action needed.
I tested the change, gnome-classic didn't seem to be too reliable in my VM so I went with gnome-fallback (metacity based) instead, so far it looks like it's working, so a big improvement from what we had with unity regardless.
