Don't know if I have a working solution, but Execute, Disconnect,
Message, Process Viewer and Screen Viewer work here (Blank, Un-Blank and
Share Screen don't, but I haven't particularly tried to fix them).

This is on Edubuntu Feisty with a single thin client. The only change
from the Howto in the wiki (InstallX11VncOnLtspClients) is to add a
parameter (-shared) to the x11vnc command in /etc/rc.local.
