First, this subject was allready discussed, but I think the archive is not
searchable.

My advice would be the following:
Start in runlevel 5. In runlevel 5 the /tmp/start_ws script is launched.
do a single RCFILE. In that rcfile manage to echo all the needed commands in
/tmp/start_ws. Your RCFILE script could look like that:
. /etc/ltsp_functions
XSERVER=`get_cfg XSERVER auto`
case ${XSERVER} in
XF86_*) XBINARY="${XSERVER}"
;;
*) XBINARY="XFree86"
;;
esac
echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/${XBINARY}" >/tmp/start_ws
echo "exec /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica" >>/tmp/start_ws
If it doesn't work (I don't know if it will work or not, but I am quite sure
the following will), you can put /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit in your
/opt/i386/ltsp/bin directory and use the following rc script:
. /etc/ltsp_functions
XSERVER=`get_cfg XSERVER auto`
case ${XSERVER} in
XF86_*) XBINARY="${XSERVER}"
;;
*) XBINARY="XFree86"
;;
esac
echo "/bin/xinit /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica -- /usr/X11R6/bin/${XBINARY}" >/tmp/start_ws
Hope it helps.
