basic idea: run the automounter locally and use a locally running gui 
(MToolsFM is very leight weight) to show up device and home dir. that 
works almost like hotplug, no need to restart the terminal. drawback 
is, that you don't have drag 'n drop. (it's even possible to get xnc 
up and running with this feature, but that's much harder to achieve.)
drawback, too, is that you have to do ugly copy jobs to get things 
running cause LTSP's libs require special old binaries to get along 
and you spoil somehow your LTSP dir.
i have it running at school since a year, no complaining any more that 
they can't use their usb thingies as wanted.
