Robert and Dan,

This also works on K12LTSP 4.4.x. It seems that it will work on all 
installations of LTSP4.1 that I have tried. Sadly, it does not work on 
LTSP4.2 for now. I am one of many (I think) that will not let go of this 
feature.

I have tried it on the new Ubuntu and Skolelinux ltsp as well. I would 
suspect it to be much easier when you can chroot into the ltsp-tree and 
apt-get install vnc4server. Sadly I haven't been able to get it working 
there either. There's too many changes in ltsp, so the how-to doesn't 
apply to get the vncserver started at login on the terminal.
