Exactly. Only if the client runs, the machine or rather the desktop session controllable.

Yes. If you say yes in this DebConf screen, iTALC client applet will start for every user in the iTALC student group. This last part is important, thus I have to add another line. See below.
_Description: Start the iTALC client on desktop session startup? For the desktop session to be controlled via iTALC, the iTALC client applet needs to be running, listening on a TCP/IP socket for authorized VNC-like connections from the iTALC master. . It can be configured to start automatically on desktop session startup, but for security reasons this is not the default.
This one looks good, I have to add a bit more information: """ _Description: Start the iTALC client on desktop session startup? For the desktop session to be controlled via iTALC, the iTALC client applet needs to be running, listening on a TCP/IP socket for authorized VNC-like connections from the iTALC master application. . It can be configured to start automatically on desktop session startup, but for security reasons this is not the default. . Remember that the iTALC client applet will only launch for users that are member of the iTALC student group. """In your proposal I added one word ("iTALC master" -> iTALC master application").
And I feel that I need to add that last sentence (it's on the last DebConf screen). If users are not in that iTALC student group, iTALC won't work.
Is that last sentence ok from your perspective? The information about that necessary group membership has been given on a previous DebConf screen (quoted below).
""" _Description: iTALC students role group: Please specify the group name for iTALC students. . The iTALC client only starts for users who are members of this group. . If you leave this empty, the "root" group will be used. """About the error message DebConf screen, see my reply to Christian's earlier mail.
