This is not a problem with TuxPaint (as the original post implied), but with the administrative decisions that were made in setting up the lab. Logins for very young students are tough, but ignoring the operational assumptions of the OS is going to cause myriad problems (not just with TuxPaint). If/when you make the change to LTSP consider kiosk-style accounts with one account per *terminal*, this would at least eliminate having to create/maintain accounts for every student.
