Two instances of OpenOffice on thin clients.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with OpenOffice on thin clients.
These are thin clients for a primary school. There are only 6 user
accounts, one for each year. The head teacher really likes this idea
because it is very simple (we are talking about 3 and 5 year olds here)
and still gives the pupils a UI customized for their year group.
The PROBLEM with this is that we have 16 users using the same account at
the same time. Most programs work fine in this setup, but not OpenOffice:
1. Student 1 goes to a thin client and starts OpenOffice - no problem.
2. Student 2 goes to another thin client and starts OpenOffice.
3. Instead of student 2 seeing an OOo window, the window appears in
student 1's account.
I need to find a way to have OpenOffice appear on the terminal where it
was called. Does anyone have any ideas?
Yes, I realize that this is not the "expected" setup. But this setup is
very darn useful for a primary school, and here we have a real life
primary school head teacher asking for this setup.
Cheers,
Daniel.
