Just as a concept... If you define a graphical session (which can be done on a per-user-base) ans define some users to be "xfce", some be "cmdline" users... That cmdline, instead of starting up a real session, could (as it would be running on the server) ssh over to the client and issue something like "openvt" with process /bin/bash on console /dev/tty8 with flags "change to that console on startup, and kill it on shutdown" On return of that ssh thing (so at the point that the user closes the session) the "window manager" emulation shell script would terminate, causing the X server on the client to reload the graphical login screen (and activating the right virtual console for graphical mode) ready for the next user to login. I did not do this, it's just the way I'd try to in case I had your needs.
