Thanks Jim! That's the one piece of the puzzle that was missing. Server console is off and terminal booted without a hitch! "Top" is humming along quite nicely with 'X' and 'xfs' consuming almost nothing for memory and CPU cycles.
X shouldn't be consuming any cycles. It shouldn't even be running at this point. At least not on the server.
Don't know how I missed that in the documentation, but thanks for all the help in tracking down the problem. Keeping my fingers crossed to see if anything 'Blows a gasket', but it looks a lot better now. Once again,
I'm not sure it's documented very well. Something we need to work on.

Jim - Just double-checked and you're absolutely right. X is not running when the terminals are shut off. I ended up editing two copies of the Xservers file to make it permanent but it's all good now.
#1 - /etc/kde/kdm/Xservers, #2 - /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.
First one worked until I rebooted and KDM was restarted in the process, and second one made it permanent for all reboots. I'm going to keep testing and once I know the system is stable enough (one or two weeks), I'll submit an article and my sample config files to you. If it meets with your satisfaction, maybe it can be added to the contrib section.
That way, it might allow newbies to get LTSP running on their fresh installs a bit faster. By having a good set of configs they can get it running and then experiment after the fact. If they run into problems, they can always return to these config files to get LTSP back up and running again.
Only thing left now is to turn off the ability to restart the server from the terminal login screen without losing the backspace key. That'll be in 'kdmrc' somewhere. I'm going to also check to see if there's more than one 'kdmrc' file on the server.
Thanks again.
