Can you just use a regular linux desktop and tweak it to your needs?

1. Linux application server. (office, accounting, CRM, ...)
2. Normal linux/windows clients, connecting to server in window (like nested X window, or rdesktop), or fullscreen in screen :0 (fullscreen application), or fulscreen in :1,:2 (next session).
3. Diskless remote sessions (solved with LTSP). (thru LAN)
4. thin client connection thru VPN (thru internet, must work at least with 256kb/s minimum).
sollutions i've found:
1. LTSP - Would be great, but I couldn't bring rdesktop to connect to it (maybe it works, and I have problem somewhere else, but also google is quiet about it), and I haven't a clue about a win client.
2. XDMCP - works reliably from linux in nested X session and next fullscreen session (:1), but eats a lot of network bandwidth (display is very slow (at least in nested x, so not a thin client)), and also the win client.
