Is it just me, or is LTSP a mess?

In my latest version of fl_teachertool 0.62 I actually changed my code
to identify users who logged out but still have hanging apps. They are
selected/highlighted after refreshing users (so it's easy to kill
them). But you can view the exact processes that remain by clicking on
view. There are various ways processes remain. One is simply powering
off before logging out. Another is ctrl-alt-back. Most of
fl_teachertool should work in edubuntu. I think the only thing that
does not is the control/monitor and snapshots since there is no vnc
server running on the client. Eric Harrison built a vnc module that
plugs into X from Real VNC for k12ltsp. It's not loaded by default
though. You have to enable it in lts.conf. Another method is to use
x11vnc. I got it to work before for Jim Kronebusch.
