-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is exactly the problem that the vnc-X-session scripts solve. They are no longer on the downloads page of the LTSP site, so you can go to www.pcxperience.org/thinclientdevel (at the bottom of the page) to get the tarball. I have not updated it to work with the latest release version of TightVNC, however (it's actually quite old, comparatively speaking), but it should still work.
Another way to do this is to use an X container application running on the application server that all your "client" apps connect to. Then your X server running on your terminal can disconnect from it and reconnect to it and all your X clients come back up on your screen. I've forgotten what the name of that project is, though.
