It works great for me.
I changed (around) line 428 of /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.local to say
if [ -w /proc/progress ]; then
echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/${XBINARY} ${XOPTS} ${ACC_CTRL} -indirect ${XDM_SERVER}
>/dev/tty3 2>&1" >/tmp/start_ws
else
echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/${XBINARY} ${XOPTS} ${ACC_CTRL} -indirect ${XDM_SERVER}"
>/tmp/start_ws
fi
It used to say -query.
Cheers, Andy!
