Hmm, seems to work on my ver. 6 system.  Try this: Edit 
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/udev/scripts/ltsp-device.sh and comment out lines 88-91, like so:

#  /dev/*/lun0/disc)  LTSP_DEVTYPE="floppy"
#                     ;;
#  /dev/fd*)          LTSP_DEVTYPE="floppy"
#                     ;;

This is after the fact, in that disabling the floppy in the 15-ltsp-block.rules file 
should fix it.  But I notice that on some of my laptop clients that modifying 
ltsp-device.sh is also necessary to prevent the floppy icon from appearing because the 
BIOS reports that there is a floppy drive even if there isn't, since the floppy and 
CD-ROM can be hot-swapped.
