Jonathon, thanks for including all in the visioning with these e-mails. You mentioned, 'new iTALC'. Have you had a look at Alkis' sch-scripts? Sounds like a bunch of scripts maybe but as a teacher when I look at it I see a straight forward gui interface that does a *lot* of what I need it to do. Not only does it do the 'lock screen' and "share screen", logout and shutdown stuff, but it has a menu option to edit lts.conf, update-ltsp-image and a bunch of other maintenance stuff. It is easily 500% quicker than iTALC and... I've gotten everything to work. Always, something I never achieved with iTALC over the 2 years I used it. It has rough edges--some of the stuff is in Greek which I can't read, but all the stuff you need to read (menu options and buttons) is in English. I recommend you try it if it 'fits the bill' for you. Alkis has a page or two about installing it...
