edit the screen script /usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/startx:

put a while loop around both calls to XBINARY:

while true ; do
    ${XBINARY} ${ACC_CTRL}              \
                              ${XF_ARGS}               \
                              -xf86config ${XFCFG}     \
                              vt${TTY} ${DISP} >/dev/null 2>&1
    sleep 10
done

instead of using a while loop, you could install the package "daemon"
into the chroot, and there should be an example of that in
/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/sdm.

this reminds me that we should include user-defined screen scripts in
/etc/ltsp/screen.d or something.

live well,
