outch !

$_SESSION should always exist : that sure but ....
$_SESSION[APPCONFIG] not exist

change with
                if (isset($_SESSION[APPCONFIG]))
                        if
($_SESSION[APPCONFIG]->getValue('appearance','minimalMode')) {
                        $display = array(
                                'HEAD'=>false,
                                'CONTROL'=>false,
                                'TREE'=>true,
                                'FOOT'=>false
                        );
                }

work better on other error come from the logo 
in phpldapadmin/lib/functions.php :

 return isset($_SESSION) && !
$_SESSION[APPCONFIG]->getValue('appearance','remoteurls') ? '' :
sprintf('%s://sflogo.sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=%s&type=10',$proto,$group_id);

i have change to :

if (!isset($_SESSION[APPCONFIG])) return
sprintf('%s://sflogo.sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=%s&type=10',$proto,$group_id);
 return isset($_SESSION) && !
$_SESSION[APPCONFIG]->getValue('appearance','remoteurls') ? '' :
sprintf('%s://sflogo.sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=%s&type=10',$proto,$group_id);


Et Voila !

I am also seeing this error.
Server is a Gentoo install, so not Debian specific. 

Verified via IE and Chrome.

Message:
Cleared cookies and session cache, nothing changed.

>From what I know of PHP, $_SESSION should always exist. If it doesn't it
has been explicitly unset somewhere.

Message:
I'm assuming this is a one off. Clear your cookies and/or PHP session
cache.
