Hi Mike, I'd like to see those scripts as well if you don't mind.
I've hit some X11 driver bugs with RHEL6 as the LTSP xorg server. I've been using RHEL6 to to the DHCP and /usr filesystems for LTSP. But I've always set the LDM_SERVER (and SSH_HOST) in lts.conf to a Fedora (currently 22) server. I think I have to move the RHEL6 to Ubuntu to get more up to date drivers for some newer workstations (that dual boot Win/LTSP).
