no, it is not.

the purpose of LDM_XSESSION is to replace /etc/X11/Xsession (on debian and
derivatives), which does more than simply start a session. you'll miss out on
all the usefull things in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/* if you do that. other
distributions have Xsession scripts that also do useful intialization steps.

LDM_SESSION is the correct thing to use to replace your desktop session, and it
sounds like you've hit a bug in a particular version of ldm that has since been
fixed.

alternately, i don't know if ubuntu has separate session types for unity vs.
classic gnome with update-alternatives, but i'd suggest looking at what the
following has to offer:

  sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

that's to be run on your server, and is a standard way to set the default
desktop session (at least on debian derivatives, such as ubuntu).
