Hi:

I will attempt to address each of the above comments in the order that they were posted ...

ben-Nabiy, I am not sure why the greeter.c.1404 that I posted would not work for you. I have verified that I posted the correctly updated copy of greeter.c.1404 and also verified that it works on three different multi-headed thin-clients that I have access to. (WYSE Z50D, HP t610, and INTEL NUC)

Alkis, the lines that you have listed with cosmetic changes were not changed by me. I created my file based on the greeter.c file that was included in the source .deb from the Ubuntu repos. I have attached greeter.c.1404.patch to this comment that contains the specific lines that I changed.

Alkis, the code that you are having problems with centers the X mouse pointer above the username / password box. (This code was added to insure that the input text box has focus as soon as the X display is ready. It will link if you include 'LIBS=-lX11' as an argument to 'make'. (See step 7 in comment #9.) This was not necessary under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, so I am not exactly sure what is broken / missing from the makefile.

Thank you both for working on this, it has been a speed bump that I have hit each time that I deploy a new LTSP server and I would very much like to see it fixed!
