Thin-client manager not working - UPDATE

[David Trask]

I now have view screen working along with the process viewer, message,
execute, and disconnect.  I'm basically try to get the share screen and
some of the extras working that I had in FL_TeacherTool in K12LTSP. 
Anyway I'll keep plugging away.  :-)
