Zak, If only it were that easy :)
As I understand it, it is really a function of the display manager to kill any running tasks if a user dissappears. Really outside the scope of the LTSP. Although I agree that it is important for us. It seems that GDM is the display manager that causes the most problems, based on reports from the field, and my own experiences. On occasion, I've turned off a terminal, waited 30 minutes, turned it back on and logged in, only to find my previously running processes still running! This was when using GDM. I'm now using KDM and have never seen the problem occur.
