setting up a directory icon for a mount point

Hello everybody,
I'm new to KDE, I've choose it instead of GNOME for a LTSP (Terminal Server Prokect) solution I'm using in the school where I tech.
I'm running Gnome 2005.1 and KDE 3.4

I've got some directories where there's mounted samba shares (they are the client's local devices: floppy, cdrom, usbpendrive).

The samba share is mounted automatically so even if I place a .directory file specifing the dir icon it will never be screwed by the mounted thing.
You should simulate this creating a dir, placing a .directory file inside the directory... when you mount something on that dir obviously the icon change to the default folder.

I'm wondering is there a KDE way to assign a static icon to a specific directory?
Thanks everybody,
Enrico

If on the server-side you use KDE as well, simply assign a icon to the folder and your clients will use it as well. It might work from Gnome to Kde... never tried that - or maybe even from a Windows machine?
