Sure. You will need to install ltsp-server and then run
ltsp-build-client to create a chroot to boot thin-clients (or a PXE
enabled desktop), after that install ltspfsd into the chroot and
ltspfs outside (yes, the daemon wil run on the PXE enabled desktop).
ltspfs is disabled by default in our ltsp implementation, you will
need LOCALDEV=True in your lts.conf (look at /opt/ltsp/i386 the
default chroot path).

When you boot the other desktop through the network (with gdm and
GNOME in the server) you will be able to log in using your own
account, with a floppy drive plugged into this desktop you will see
that libgnomevfs2-0 shows two floppy icons.

The explanation above is just for 23_ignore_ltspfs_volumes. With the
same scenario, if you plug your usb token on the PXE enabled desktop
and log into a second, third, whatever desktop you will see the icon
on every desktop, that's why we need 22_ignore_inacessible_volumes.
