Hi,

I encountered the same problem on our LTSP-server and clients.

for a more general discussion have a look at

This works for GNOME.

We also use XFCE and then you need to do the following:

we need to force xfce in the kiosk mode by creating the file
/etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc containing

[xfce4-session]
CustomizeSplash=ALL
CustomizeChooser=ALL
CustomizeLogout=ALL
CustomizeCompatibility=%wheel
Shutdown=NONE


This worked for us, so hope it will be helpfull to you as well.


Cheers,
