That seems reasonable, but I have a couple questions about this approach ...

1. Can the /usr/share/ltsp/xinitrc.d/I10-xrandr script be made generic enough to determine the correct names of the output devices? For instance, between all of the various thin clients that I have, the xrandr output devices range in name from 'VGA-X', 'DisplayPort-X', 'DVI-X', 'DP-X', 'HDMI-X', etc. (It seems to be dependent on the driver being used and the release of xrandr.)

2. I have a few clients with four heads, so having the login dialog displayed on all four heads simultaneously may be a bit visually odd. (I think it would look weird on even two heads.) If we move to this approach, would we also have to use an approach like comment #7 mentions above using mac2xrandr to disable / re-enable the displays before / after login?
