[K12OSN] Starting X w/o login

Happy Monday,

I am trying to set up some ltsp clients that when started only run a 
single app.  I am close but I am missing some small step somewhere.

In my lts.conf file I setup a rc hook file for my test client called rdesktop.

[10.1.20.67]
         RCFILE_01       = rdesktop

The file rc.d/rdesktop exists and is run correctly (and is included 
below).  It's purpose is to overwrite the start_ws file such that xdm 
is not started and the single application rdesktop is started.

The rcfile rdesktop starts X correctly, but all I get is the grey 
screen and X.  Nothing fires up (the example below I was using xterm 
instead).

I am certain rdesktop is in the client's tree and the permissions are 
set correctly (as is xterm for testing purposes).  I had at one point 
tried creating a .xinitrc file instead for loading rdesktop but it 
didn't make any difference either.

I believe I am just missing a single small set somewhere but I 
haven't been able to find it thus far.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :-)
