We will be backing down to a prior setup today. We could keep the server
up all day long with no problem. But as soon as a thin client tried to
start X, BAM!, down it goes. I'm thinking it's an xorg issue but don't
have the time to fully dig into it. We were supposed to be done with
this school install two days ago and at this point we have barely begun.
