  It is possible to have the default KDE "Plasma" file manager Dolphin showing up if KDE "Plasma" (or LDXE, if installed in parallel to KDE "Plasma") is in use as desktop environment. To configure this, simply execute {{{/usr/share/debian-edu-config/ltspfs-mounter-kde enable}}} on the terminal server.
