[K12OSN] 1 nic k12ltsp 6.0

This has nothing to do with GNOME or KDE.  Rather, it has everything to 
do with the fact that you're using an XDMCP-compatible display manager. 
  For example, I use the KDM display manager (I just like its look 
better) and choose the GNOME, XFce, or KDE (or even FVWM at times) 
desktops as I please.  Depends on my mood that day.

Assuming that you're using GDM, note that XDMCP's already turned on, 
since your thin clients work.  Do make sure you're using this "Xming" 
correctly, though.  I don't use MS Windows, so I won't be much help 
there (anybody else out there doing this?).  But that's where I'd check 
first.  Maybe there's a config setting somewhere in it.

If you want a second check to verify that your XDMCP's working, then 
take a GNU/Linux or BSD box (or Solaris or anything else with X11), 
start it without the GUI (that's runlevel 3 in RedHat/Fedora, runlevel 2 
in Debian), and do an XDMCP query manually.  You'd do it like this:

    X -query w.x.y.z

where w.x.y.z is the IP address of your K12LTSP server.  If that works, 
then the issue is with Xming.
