I am using ldm.
I did not see Szabo's post. I just read it.
Wanted to confirm my suspicions. :-)

ltpsfsd came from lenny. ltspfs came from ltsp-etch-backports

Pretty much followed  http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto
As to sources:
On the server added
deb http://pkg-ltsp.alioth.debian.org/debian etch-ltsp-backports main

on the client install have
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free

Really should have a preference file or will start pulling everything 
from sid.
ldm and ltspfsd in lenny conflict :-( At least yesterday they did.
I then used aptitude to bring in ldm.
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
aptitude
selected ldm from sid
I made sure it did not uninstall needed packages by reselecting them.
Suppose "apt-get -t sid install ldm"  would do it.

As to the device icons in kde found this:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ltspfs-virtual-hal-devices
Hope it can be worked out.
Not sure if I can switch to ltsp5  without it
