Migration from K12LTSP to Edubuntu for Thin Client Services

[monteslu at cox.net]

Hello Scott,

 I migrated from k12ltsp5 to edubuntu 7.04 this summer and had this same problem with all the teacher accounts. Students get a new account each year so their profiles were fine.
Try selecting a gnome session on the login screen when logging in. You may also have to blow away the .gnome directories in their home directories.

One thing I still haven't figured out is the differences between fedora and ubuntu thunderbird profiles.
