Tom, I am pretty sure that I am that other user that Appgen was talking about. Unfortunatly, I don't have a solution for you.
While I was trying to get a working solution, our accountants decided that MyBooks was not robust enough for our business. If I recall correctly I felt like I was making progress with LTSP & LOCAL APPS with a shell script on the server to launch autoag.sh. However that wasn't enough. It was my thought that I needed to install the JRE on the client machines for the windows to be drawn correctly, or hack the ag*.sh scripts so that they pass the $DISPLAY variable to each other, hoping a remote display would actually work! I had also thought of installing Mybooks differently. Installing a standalone server on a network box (or the ltsp server), and then installing the linux client locally on the LTSP workstations. I never tried this. That was as far as I had gotten when I got the word to drop the project. Sorry I can't be of anymore help, I'd really like to know if you get this working.

I've installed it on a RH7.0 and a RH7.2 server each running LTSP 3.0. When MyBook starts it puts up a splash screen, and after 30 seconds or so a menu screen. Running on the server, these screens appear normal. Running on two different LTSP thin clients machine, the splash screens appear as a gray boxs and the menu screens only have the text which is at the very top. All XF86 video parameters are set to 1024x768 and 16 bit color depth. The RH7.0 server is running XFS for connected workstations the other is not. The availability of XFS makes no difference in the appearance of the MyBooks screens. Tech support people at Appgen are aware of this phenomenon. They said that they had heard of it from one other user. I think it is an LTSP issue rather than an Appgen problem, although they, of course, appreciate the need for a solution. A demo version of MyBooks can be downloaded from www.appgen.com. That's the version I just tested on the RH7.2 system. I will appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced this problem and has an idea or a solution.
