Sounds like you are wrong about lessdisks:
Lessdisks is a framework for distributed diskless systems. As such, it
_can_ be configured to run all apps locally, or it can execute X11 apps
remotely (insecurely as LTSP3 or SSH-encrypted), or run VNC, or run NX,
or...
The default setup (and also the most tested AFAIK) is running all X11
apps remotely, similar to LTSP3 but SSH-encrypted.
If LTSP can be setup exactly like you need it then that is the easiest
to use. But I believe it is easier to customize lessdisks than LTSP,
because everything is Debian (the client filesystem is simply a chroot
on the server).
