I was thinking in that direction too, but I am afraid that it may turn out 
to be quite complicated.

For a small kiosk-application, only running Netscape or similar, I would 
still need (a link to) the Netscape binary, icewm, all the necessary 
libraries, icons etc etc; and I need to configure everything to work properly 
with the chrooted pathnames.

But I think it's the only way to go if I run apps on the server.

That's why I was thinking of running local apps on the client, since all that 
work has essentially been done there already. Assuming that the visible file 
system is then limited to the ltsp root-fs (/opt/ltsp/i386), am I correct?
