Tom, Yes, we have plans for some form of encryption. I don't know yet what form that will take.
I've been working with some of the X.org guys, and we've been talking about having encryption built into the Xserver, which would be cool. We've also talked about using ipsec between the clients and the server. And then there's also NX which is encrypted. The next version of Ubuntu (Breezy) will include LTSP, and rather than using XDMCP, it will pop up a dialog locally, accepting the username/password, and then use SSH to connect to the server where it will run gnome. Keep in mind that the load that all of the above solutions is going to place on the server could be substantial.
