Two reasons not to go this route:

1) It's more complex for the users - they have to log into Linux, then 
launch an app, then log into the Windows Terminal server.

2) It doubles the bandwidth requirements - running rdesktop directly on 
the client allows a single path for network travel to flow. Going 
through the LTSP server requires two, duplicate paths. From the Win 
Server to the LTSP server, then agian from the LTSP server to the client.
