[K12OSN] Fedora 9, LTSP 5, and KDE

[Nadav Kavalerchik]

i have been trying to move from fc6 (k12ltsp) for some time but
with no success. from the same reasons.

kde 3.5.x can not run on fc9 (i checked with fedora people)
kde 4.1 is not stable enouhg (and features are missing)
there is no official Kiosk Admin tool in fc9 (although suse has
built one for kde 4.1 that partially works on fedora)
the under lying lockdown framework suppose to work without the gui
but has changed from version 3.5.x.

ltsp 5 works slower then ltsp 4.2 (on fedora 9) maybe it is just me ?

we decided to stay with fc6+ltsp 4.2 that works great for a hole new year
dispite what every one suggests.

i just upgraded OpenOffice and Firefox. (not using rpm)

hope it helps :-)

I have tried setting up /etc/sysconfig/desktop and editting the lts.conf to launch SCREEN_07=xdmcp.  No luck there.  I have tried going to the /usr/share/xsessions/ and leaving only kde.desktop.  Still no luck.
