[K12OSN] Rebooting WinTerms

[Chris Hobbs]

I'm using K12LTSP at one of our elementary schools to provide cheap 
Windows Terminals, based on the wilisystem.com setup. Basically, this 
creates a new runlevel (7) that simply starts up rdesktop on the terminal.

The problem is, if these machines are left untouched (once up to the 
Windows logon screen), they recycle - that is, it appears that X dies 
and restarts, relaunching rdesktop. This occurs appx every 5 minutes.

This causes extra network traffic and annoyances for the teachers as the 
machines relaunch. I know they could turn the monitor off, but it also 
strikes me as unpolished to have the machines (appear to be) restarting 
every 5 minutes.

Any ideas on why this might be happening?
