As I understand it, the Local Apps settings are enabled by default in
Lubuntu 12.04. Once LTSP is also installed, that means that one can run
on the LTSP client hardware (instead of the LTSP server hardware) any
app that is installed in the LTSP chroot image. For instance, xterm can
be run
I posted previously about this LTSP terminal boot message in conjunction
with incomplete shutdowns on LTSP terminals. But now I see that the two
issues are separate.
So a fresh post.

Edubuntu 12.04), I see a boot message on s

On my Lubuntu and Edubuntu 12.04 LTSP test networks, I find that some
clients do not shut down completely.
On the Lubuntu network, one eMachine client stops at a black-and-white

This is actually a tangent to the incomplete shutdown problem that I
have been working on. In my initial post I wondered if, as a work-around
of sorts, I could create a shutdown splash screen that would remain
on-screen on machines that suffer from the shutdown problem.
