Perhaps is too late but I have a compatible thin client (and
standalone) control panel that do more things than iTALC
It's made for my thin client project: TCOS [1] but can works in LTSP
or installed computers.
I have made right now some screenshots of new version in a real
classrom in my university (23 old computers with TCOS)
It uses an XMLRPC server (less network bandwitch than VNC) and GUI is
made in python gtk2
Screenshots:

Packages:

I have a __very alpha__ release of this app in web mode (PHP + AJAX)
http://idefix.eup.uva.es/tcosphpmonitor
user: admin
pass: admin
Go to preferences tab and put:
user: root
pass: root
Go to Main tab and press "Reload host list"
Greetings
PD.- I was in Sevilla in May showing this project to some Ubuntu/LTSP
developers.
