ah, debian-edu implements it's own version of a fat client, and tries to
configure it just like their typical disked workstation. in theory, the
fatclients shouldn't work any differently than a disked system... in practice,
it's an adventure in configuration options...

ltspfs *is* a dependency of ltsp-server-standalone, at least on Debian. but
that doesn't change what gets installed in the chroot.

so you need to install ltspfs in the chroot if you want LTSP-style localdev 
support for LTSP-style fatclients.

is the user in the fuse group? does anything show up in /media/$USERNAME?
GNOME is the only desktop that shows icons on the desktop for ltspfs mounted
devices out of the box- perhaps you're using another desktop enviropnment?

i don't know what software you're running, or how it should be configured, so i
can't help much there. your desktop environment (KDE/GNOME) will matter more
than your login manager (KDM) in that case, if you're not using typical
LTSP_FATCLIENT style fat clients.


sorry i don't have more helpful things to offer, but there are a myriad of
options available, and i'm most familiar with the ones supported in LTSP
directly.

live well,
