You dont' even need virtualized applications to use a thin client. Just a pxe boot network card and a properly configured x-server and you have yourself full client capabilities. I've worked on a project in school called "Linux terminal server project (LTSP)" and that's one example of a non-virtualized aspect of thin-client usage.
