We have a spec that we'll be discussing at the next Ubuntu Developers
Summit in Mountainview.  I think you're looking for:

https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ltsp-fat-clients

As well, the local-apps spec, which is closely related:

https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ltsp-local-apps

Local apps is a midway point between a "fat" diskless client, and a full
diskful workstation.

Cheers!
