The reset (F9) does not kill TeacherTool. Only the processes running vnc.

Yes. This is realvnc asking for the password  for vncviewer to allow
you to take "Control".

Shutdown TeacherTool, killed off all instances of vnc (ps -ef | grep vnc) and on subsequent launches I had no keyboard input.


I don't have a k12ltsp 5.0 system at home I can test right now. So I
can't verify this behavior.

Broadcast does not use the new vnc.so Eric made. I have verified
broadcast works with k12ltsp 5.0 at Linuxfest NW. If both Broadcast
and Control don't work for you I suspect you either have not installed
things correctly or your system has gremlins in it. :)
