Simon, I think the problem is the ltsp-sound.sh script (usually in /etc/profile.d) is running ltspinfo, to connect to the ltspinfod daemon that is normally running on the ltsp thin clients. The problem is, you don't have a ltspinfod running on your Exceed terminals.
We need a way to tell ltspinfo to give up more quickly than it is. For now, you could edit /etc/profile.d/ltsp-sound.sh, and way up at the top of the script, you could test for various values of $DISPLAY, and do a premature exit. something like: if [ "${DISPLAY}" = "ws020:0.0" ]; exit 0 fi That should help the situation, until we fix ltspinfo to behave better.
