Can you better define "LTSP environment"? I've set my (computer illiterate / naieve) father up with an old pentium machine, no hard drive etc, connected up to my good Debian box ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and booting off a floppy with etherboot. It's been ages since I set it up, but from memory I have LTSP installed on the Debian box, etherboot loads the LTSP kernel (via TFTP), then mounts the NFS share LTSP provides for the root filesystem, X is started, it and connects to the gdm display server which is running on the Debian box. ie. the only thing that runs on the remote machine is X. After my dad logs in through gdm, he's using KDE 3.1 running on the Debian box (ie. my good machine), with the display sent to the X server running on his machine.
I don't see how this "environment" is any different from if he were to sit down in front of my good machine physically and log in. He uses KMail, KWord (I'd install openoffice, but I don't want him slowing down my machine too much ;-), Konqueror etc all quite happily. I imagine if he were to use Java applets in Konq he'd get the same results as if he were using it on the local machine (ie. it'd work). If you're sure that your setup is similar and for some weird reason Java applets _don't_ work, let me know (maybe post a link to the page you're using so I can use it to test) and I'll log in from his terminal and try it sometime.
