[LUAU] k12ltsp desktop

[Ted Kanemori]

The script includes:  "for new in .screenrc .gtkrc .kde .gnome-desktop"
You suggest: "notice that .gnome-desktop is copied and not Desktop."

/etc/skel contains .kde, .gtkrc and Desktop (Desktop contains FloppyAccess) 
I cannot find .gnome-desktop anywhere in the system.
Could it be that .kde and .gtkrc are the only guys that's being copied?

I deleted the "home folder", "start here" and "floppy access" from the
client.
I removed the ".gnome-desktop" from the reset script and ran the script.

The client was reset the same way as if the .gnome-desktop was there.
(Start here and the home folder were restored).

FloppyAccess was not.
I've never been able to get FloppyAccess back unless I re-add the user.

How do I include the FloppyAccess part into the reset script?

When you purge the user, you wipe out the home directory and copy
over /etc/skel.

Read /opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/reset-default-desktop again.
In contrast to copying over all of /etc/skel, what the script
does is remove some directories under the user's home directory
and copy over only a few directories from /etc/skel. If you
take a close look at what directories are reverted, notice that
.gnome-desktop is copied and not Desktop.

If you can verify this in the labs, a revised script can be
updated in the distribution so others can avoid the confusion.
