I've already done this before bothering this list gang. Looks like
scripts added to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/Xsession.d/ have no effect:
- Installed numlockx after chrooting to /opt/ltsp/i386.
- Tried different script names (as they're handled by run-parts), like
"80custom_numlockx" or "80x11-common_numlockx" (see man Xsession)
- Tried different priorities (10/30/50/70/90)
- Tried different script contents (including "#!/bin/bash" or nothing
else than "/usr/bin/numlockx").

Every change followed by an ltsp-update-image + thin client reboot. Took
me a while...

Finally I renamed "/etc/X11/Xsession.d" to "/etc/X11/Useless", run
ltsp-update-image, rebooted the thin client and shortly after ldm showed
up as usual (still numlock off), although "man Xsession" says somewhere
"Xsession next confirms that its script directory, Xsession.d, exists.
If it does not, the script aborts."

Conclusion: Is the Xsession script and/or
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/Xsession.d ignored during thin client boot up ?

Neither. Remember: the xsession's on the server, not on the client So you
need to add this to the SERVER's /etc/X11/Xsession.d, not in the client's
/opt/ltsp.....

Cheers,
