[K12OSN] display manager not working

[Gideon Romm]

Make sure every user is logged off of the machine, and you have all
applications closed.  As root, type "killall gdm-binary".
This will kick everyone off including you!

But, reboot the thin client, and you'll have a login screen...
(hopefully....)

Good luck,
