No.  See my original reply.

 From a conversation I had with one of the devs on #ltsp:

"Install perl-suid
then create a script in /etc/ltspfs/mounter.d (you may have to create that
directory) on the application server
and a script called fixperm inside it, containing:

#!/usr/bin/perl
if ( $ARGV[0] eq 'add' ) {
	$ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin';
	$user=getpwuid($<);
	system "chown", "$user.root","/media/$user";
}

then you have to set permission 4755 on that script
so that the script is setuid root as the script is run as the user and it
wouldn't normally have the right to change the permission on that directory
if all goes well, the directory in /media/ will change to $user.root when
something is plugged and will then only appear on the user's desktop."

I haven't tried this myself yet; YMMV.
