Done with x11vnc, like in fat client.
No need enabling LOCAL_APPS at all.
Just
Install x11vnc on chroot environment
# ltsp-chroot --arch=i386 apt-get install x11vnc
Create a password file for x11vnc
# echo "yourpassword" > /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/x11vncpassword
Create an init script to starrt vnc at client boot
# nano /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/x11-vnc-server
________
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: VNC Server
# Required-Start: x11-common
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 4
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Raise VNC Server
### END INIT INFO
XAUTH=`find /var/run/ -name Xauth*`
VNCBIN=`which x11vnc`
case "$1" in
start)
start-stop-daemon --start --oknodo \
--pidfile /var/run/x11vnc.pid --background \
--nicelevel 15 --make-pidfile --exec \
$VNCBIN -- -display :7 -forever -passwdfile
/etc/x11vncpassword -nossl -auth $XAUTH
;;
stop)
start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --pidfile
/var/run/x11vnc.pid
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
;;
esac
___________
Insert the script in the init sequence
# chmod+x /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/x11-vnc-server
# ltsp-chroot --arch=i386 insserv -v x11-vnc-server
Reboot the clients and try connecting with any vnc capable software
Hope it helps
