well, i didn't do much work other than grab the newest upstream and try
it. :)

well, the version that fixes your bug was actually uploaded to
experimental, as it contains significant enough changes it may not be
suitable for lenny, and lenny is currently frozen.

i don't plan on making any more etch backports unless it's likely to be
a version that will end up in lenny, which hopefully will be released in
2-4 months. then i'll start maintaining backports for lenny, if needed.

you could try and build the version from experimental version on etch
and see how it works, the etch-backport version only required a single
patch to the version in lenny, hopefully even that may no longer be
needed (and was only needed for autologin/guestlogin anyways).

in the future, please go ahead and post to
pkg-ltsp-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org if you have questions.

live well,
