Joe,
When a terminal window is opened in the client's window manager the user will already be on the server. No SSH needed.

Start the terminal window on a second desktop in your Window manager for those users.

Joe,
 I would use  the user's .xsession file.

  For group a I would still start X but not start a window manager, just
Xterm run from a script that restarts it should they close it. They
will automatically be in a terminal window on the server.

  For group b, start a full desktop.

  If you make each user's .xsession file a link to a central file owned
by root, the user will not be able to change it.

Fine for group a. Group b is the trick because they need both the text access as well as a full desktop. I know there's a way to set up a script so that it opens another tty screen. I wonder if I could automate it to log then in on that screen and start an ssh session to the server.

Is there a way to run 2 bash profiles or somehting? So that I can log into a desktop, but if I happen to log in at a command prompt I get a different responce (like a script)?
