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.
