Yep - don't use the komodo monitor - it's giving you too much grief :)

No seriously, it sounds like the komodo monitor needs special attention 
- that means if it needed special attention when plugged into the server 
- it's gonna need special attention when used with a thin client.

The special settings you would need are the X_MODE parameters in your 
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf file. Check out these links for some ideas 
of what to use :
