[K12OSN] Rebooting WinTerms



I'm using K12LTSP at one of our elementary schools to provide cheap Windows Terminals, based on the wilisystem.com setup. Basically, this creates a new runlevel (7) that simply starts up rdesktop on the terminal.

The problem is, if these machines are left untouched (once up to the Windows logon screen), they recycle - that is, it appears that X dies and restarts, relaunching rdesktop. This occurs appx every 5 minutes.

This causes extra network traffic and annoyances for the teachers as the machines relaunch. I know they could turn the monitor off, but it also strikes me as unpolished to have the machines (appear to be) restarting every 5 minutes.

Any ideas on why this might be happening?
