I just installed Tuxpaint on my own LTSP server and launched with my
thin-client (a LTSP-Term 1220PXE available from disklessworkstations.com
and 100% supported by LTSP ) and will attach the following strace. The
strace contains data from me simply starting Tuxpaint, drawing an "X" on
the blank slate, adding 4 "Stamps" (2 of one Tux face and 2 of another),
and then attempting to exit. When I exit, it asks me if I'm done, and I
clicked Yes. It asked me if I wanted to save, and I said No. From there,
the program locked up and I had to 'killall -9 tuxpaint' to close it.
Normal 'killall tuxpaint' wouldn't work.

Note that on my single LTSP thin-client, starting Tuxpaint took 55% of
the CPU time, which is:

I hope this information helps. I have a 7 schools ready to use Tuxpaint
for the younger students, but this is preventing us from doing so in our
LTSP environment. Please ask if there's any more troubleshooting  I can
do.
