The link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ltsp-Local-Apps has some starter info on what needs to be done in order to support local apps. I tried some of the suggestions listed under Design and Implementation and managed to get a local app running (firefox). It wasn't exactly seamless and didn't perform that well. Also there are some other hurdles regarding sound and access to other local devices. I think this is still a while out in regards of development and I decided I just didn't have enough knowledge of the whole process to figure it out. At this point unless you really understand LTSP5 and how it works, you may just want to wait until the Gutsy release and see if the gurus have gotten it to work by then or not. At this point upgrading a Feisty server to Gutsy breaks a bunch of stuff so it isn't developed enough to try yet.
