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.
