I wrote about this a few weeks ago: rdesktop quits after 20-30 seconds,
and so does xinit that called it from the usr/share/ltsp/screen.d/rdesktop 
script. Then X will be restarted and the countdown for blanking also 
starts over ... etc.

The solution is to call xinit with an rdesktop.wrapper script, 
which does not quit and executes rdesktop again and again... e.g.:

while true; do rdesktop; done

So X won't be restarted and the blanking will work... :-)
