The next stable release of Red Hat Linux (8.1) will have a feature called 
startup notification, so that you get a busy cursor and/or a message so that 
you know the program is starting.  This has also been available in KDE for a 
while.  Is LTSP based on Red Hat?

I can't think of anything simple right now.

Doesn't the LTSP start a local X server then connect to a remote machine using 
XDMCP?  If this is the case, don't all the X processes die as soon as the 
local X server dies?  Perhaps you could explain this problem in more detail.
