The FAQ at <http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/FAQ> says:
> $ defaults read com.apple.Finder ShowMountedServersOnDesktop
> $ defaults write com.apple.Finder ShowMountedServersOnDesktop 1

That will work as long as the user's home directory is on a case- 
insensitive volume, but technically the "f" should be lowercase  
(com.apple.finder).

Running with a home on NFS or the case-sensitive variation of HFS  
would reveal the problem (the setting would have no effect, and there  
would be two separate files in ~/Library/Preferences, one named  
com.apple.Finder and one named com.apple.finder).

Cheers,
