Yeah, I think it's just a freak problem here. It's not hard to edit out 
the rhgb in the grub config, so consider this solved unless more people 
start to complain.

Yeah, I'm using BlueCurve. But as I said in my last email, it seems to 
only come up with the default icons when I'm already logged in elsewhere 
in the LTSP lab (Or VNC).

Well, I already replaced the NIC with a diffrent nic, and  the problem 
seems to be solved.

Unfortunetly, this was not the case... unless I missed it. It asked me 
to remove the old configuration, then configure the new card. I didn't 
see any "migrate" button, which would have been nice. But then again, I 
do usualy zip through those kudzu screens. Sm:)e.
