After much head scratching I have found a solution.

It appears that this may be a Gnome issue rather than a LTSP issue.

If I delete .gconf in the users' home directories I can then log in from a LTSP
terminal and set up their desktops again. 

Therefore, there must be some change in one of the .gconf files between and FC4
and FC6  that is incompatible with LTSP.

Anyway, the problem is now solved and the terminals are once again working.  I
don't know if I should file a bug report against FC6 Gnome regarding this issue
or not.
