Jonathon, thanks for including all in the visioning with these e-mails.<br><br>You mentioned, 'new iTALC'. Have you had a look at Alkis' sch-scripts? Sounds like a bunch of scripts maybe but as a teacher when I look at it I see a straight forward gui interface that does a *lot* of what I need it to do. Not only does it do the 'lock screen' and "share screen", logout and shutdown stuff, but it has a menu option to edit lts.conf, update-ltsp-image and a bunch of other maintenance stuff. It is easily 500% quicker than iTALC and... I've gotten everything to work. Always, something I never achieved with iTALC over the 2 years I used it. It has rough edges--some of the stuff is in Greek which I can't read, but all the stuff you need to read (menu options and buttons) is in English. I recommend you try it if it 'fits the bill' for you. Alkis has a page or two about installing it...<br>

</div>Thanks for clarifying. One issue is that the online help for qcad<br>
won't show unless qt3-assistant is installed. However, I agree that<br>
qt3-assistant is confusing when added to the menu - this is a tough<br>
one to fix besides using magic unless we remove the .desktop file from<br>
the qt3-assistant package. That might have to be an ubuntu/edubuntu<br>
thing to do as I don't know if the debian maintainers would go for<br>
that. Either way I'll bump it down to "Recommends," but that won't<br>
solve this problem.<br>
<br>
I think the edubuntu project is great and am happy to help if you guys<br>
need anything.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
