Apologies to Vagrant for having sent this to him personally. I meant this for the list: My issue then was that using the DIST= parameter in ltsp-build-client.conf confused the running of "ltsp-build-client" as Alkis suggested then (i.e. xorg was missing.) Once I removed ltsp-build-client.conf and instead put those parameters into the commandline the resulting "ltsp-build-client" indeed did provide xorg. I apologise for confusing this issue with my ignorance concerning the window manager. As both of you pointed out to me it is not needed by thin clients and can be added for fat clients. I hadn't known that at the time of my writing then. However, as you now report, this issue of DIST= in ltsp-build-client.conf seems to be no longer a problem. I will try again soon with this newer version and report back. Thank you once again for your continued work and support with ltsp!
