We are using GDM. Using KDM isn't really an option at this time. Ive also been told that freezing on clients has occured, forcing a reboot of the client, but Ive never witnessed it myself.

We used to get this when we were running GDM. We also used to get cases where-by the thin client would hang, and the only fix was to reboot the client. This left the defuct process as described. Sincing we've switched to KDM both problems have gone away. Which display manager are you running?Hello,
If you poweroff the terminal without logging off you cannot log back in as your x-session-manager and applications are all still running on the server. The x-session-manager then becomes defunct and doesn't even die with a kill -9.
Is there a common or known way to get around this? My users are powering off the terminals regularly and then cannot log back in without me manually terminating processes at the command line and restarting the X server.
I had a freeze just this Tuesday, in the "slow" part of the computer den, where the old, slow and shoddy computers (P 133 MHz/32 MB RAM, etc. upwards with 10Mbit NIC's) share a separate switch, and thereby also share one 100Mbit connection to the main switch.
We run KDM, and about 10 people were using OOo, Mozilla (with flash whatever things in it), Konqueror, Ximian Evolution, Kmail, Gaim and lots of other stuff rather intensely on 2x800MHz/1.5 GB. SUSE 9.1 + LTSP 4.1(?).
The previous "normal" (but irritating) lagging didn't appear to be any worse afterwards, and logging back in was no prob at all. Didn't check orphaned processes though.
