In /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf

LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True
LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS = mozilla-firefox 

To find the apps to list out for LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS, look
under /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/applications  List them out without
the .desktop file.  This actually substitutes in the menu the local app
version instead of the version on the server.
