Hopefully a new upstream release will come this summer.
ATM the basic functions of italc are available with ThinClients
(this "Basicfunctions" are: Watching the students desktop, kill games, kill
browsers, lock the screens of the pupils)
NOT working functions are: helping the students; showing the students your
desktop; showing the students a desktop of an student.
Fl_TeacherTool
http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/
has all these features already working although it does not have as
much eye candy as ITALC. Maybe the author of ITALC can read my code to
help him with these features.
They are both coded in C++ but Fl_TeacherTool uses FLTK whereas looks
like ITALC uses Qt for the gui.
Hopefully this will work in the next upstream release. Maybe I can talk to the
author. :)

Yes, your are right.
The svn version of italc is able to handle ltspclients more or less
automatically.
