Hello, I had the same problem with insufficient RAM, after enabling nfs swap it works fine (16m the system memory + 64 swap/redhat linux 8.0/ltsp 3x). Thank you Jam for helping me out. I think it is REALLY necessary that you describe this problem in the installation guide and recommend adding swap over nfs in the lts.conf file (#as a comment), it should be clearly be stated that 16mb of ram are not enough and strange things can happen when working in X. Don't take it the wrong way, it's just a suggestion (I had a few days of nightmare because I didn't knew all this).
