[K12OSN] Re: reply to k12OSN:pushing icons out to desktops

[Levi Kemp]

I know this was a while back, but I was just attempting to do this with
the same setup. I noticed that this only works on users that have
already logged into the K12LTSP server before. What about new users to
the server? It doesn't put icons there. And I also made similar changes
to the remove script but it doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts on those?
Thanks.
