Hi Alkis--

I installed from the desktop CD, not the alternate, and tftpd set up for
/srv. I don't know what the contract is between the various Ubuntu
services like tftp and the many (Ubuntu and custom) applications that
might use them. I assumed that it would be the responsibility of the
LTSP packages to verify the configuration of any services such as tftp
that they need and re-configure if necessary. Hence I assumed it was a
bug in LTSP. Similarly, I don't know if compiz is supposed to function
with a wide range of remote clients of possibly limited hardware. So
I'd also file that one under LTSP, myself. Sound...it's working pretty
well on my desktops. Haven't looked into the ltsp client problem yet!

So it's not that I don't try to file separate bug reports...it's just
not always easy to figure out what package is at fault! :)
