That works.  Thanks.  For the record, the --no-desktop isn't necessary 
in my case since I'm already running the gnome desktop.  The full story 
on what I did was create this script and then create a launcher that 
calls it:

sshfs remotesrv: $HOME/.remote
nautilus $HOME/.remote

I made the mountpoint a hidden directory to keep people from accidently 
deleting it or saving files under it when the remote host wasn't 
mounted.  Then I  put

fusermount -u $HOME/.remote

in /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default to unmount it when the user logs out. 
BTW, there's also a Default.ltsp in that directory, put putting the 
fusermount in that didn't work.
