Both ok.

This is not OK.  The user is not in the fuse group.  I investigated,
and the reason is that the pam_group module is not enabled.
pam-auth-update do not have support for pam_group yet.  This is bug
report in #370346.  Can ltspfs be configured to use
consolekit/policykit instead?  It would be better to get this working
out of the box without pam_group.

Aftet activating pam_group using the patch in #370346, the user was in
the fuse group after login, and the mounting happened on the server.
No KDE popup showed up, thought. :(

A popup really should be the default in KDE.  The user experience suck
without it.

Happy hacking,
