I remember in previous versions there was an option to do this (at least similar to a Terminal on screen). If you log in, at the bottom (drop down menu) change the Desktop login preference, I think "user Defined might be one."

 Even though this might not be what you're looking for, check out Terminator (multiple terminals in one Window). https://launchpad.net/terminator

*Or just try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546814/ It's long though but it MIGHT Help.

You need to install the ltsp-server-standalone package:

  sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone

But probably is better to use the Server flavor and install LTSP during the setup.

You will need to do some studying though:

You can also install openssh-server and have the thin clients connect. They can launch apps on the server and they will display on the client system but will be running on the server. You will connect with

ssh -X user@server
