This all works now, without running the clients as root! :)
I'm not sure which change in my configuration made things start working.
* I added my user to the 'netdev' group in my os-configuration for the
first time, whereas earlier I simply edited /etc/group by hand and
rebooted.
* I just added Ludovic's new suggested 'name-service-switch'
configuration with nss-mdns support.
* I'm now running on current 'master', and there have been some changes
there since my earlier testing.

And this is working as well, although it seems unable to find some of
the icons. Anyway, it's a step in the right direction :)
Enjoy!
