I forgot about this - but this was the only acceptable
solution I found.  Although slower -- I liked this even
better than Graphon's solution -- which was slick but
they refused to sell me a version where I could disable
saving passwords (which would be a big security problem
in a lab environment).  Therefore, my solution was VNC
-- its not an Xserver, so give your server some extra
RAM.  Also consider a script to kill sessions if they
are inactive for a certain length of time (I don't know
how to dertemine this though) -- because whatever the
user leaves running when they logout stays resident in
RAM.
