i've been noticing that USB sticks don't mount if already inserted at login,
but sticks inserted after login do appear to work for me. the backports for the
same ltspfs packages work fine on lenny, which makes me suspect some
differences in udev or other packages... that issue eludes me.

after chatting in irc, sounds like this is not the case for you; it doesn't
work if inserted after login either.

some things to check:

* fuse module is loaded
* /dev/fuse is writeable by group fuse
* user is in fuse group

try debugging with a shell on the thin client. in lts.conf:

  SCREEN_07=ldm
  SCREEN_08=shell

* see if the devices show up in /dev/
* look at files in /var/run/ltspfs*

this seems like a separate issue, really. you might be able to use the
ltspfs-mounter.d hooks. see /usr/share/doc/ltspfs/examples/kde-desktop-icons
for an example hook.
