Hi there,
I'm trying out openthinclient server and it has been raising some questions:
1) first I noticed that running applications is really slow (for example 
firefox) using HP T5135 terminal - little debugging showed that 
applications are not running on the server side but perhaps on thin 
client directly?
Is this really so? Usually thin client systems login into remote desktop 
(into server) not executing desktop and dektop applications applications 
locally (or it could be intentional addition but not default behaviour). 
So you also run gnome dektop session directly on thin client? I would 
call this kind of system a fat client server then - as it is not really 
suitable for use with thin client hardware.

2) As I understand there is possibility to use xnest or gdm chooser for 
connecting into remote X server - but what about remote audio and local 
media support then? Not supported? Any plans to support in future? How?

On the other side openthinclient manager seems to be well designed and 
really anticipated tool that has been missing in the open source thin 
client community - but why not to marry it with ltsp5 codebase which has 
now all typical thin client system features needed (and has a quite 
large dev community) instead having more like a fat client codebase 
based on ubuntu which lacks some basic features making a true thin 
client system?

Cheers,

--
