VNC + GNOME with nfs mounted homedirs.

Hi!

I'm experiencing some disturbing problems with a machine at work.
I've got about 20 users and of which 15 uses VNC to connect to the machine for working with GNOME. The problem is that after a while it seems like the homedir get some nfs stales or something, gnome processes hangs and so forth.

I guess gnome is pure crap to use in this type of envrionment?

in /var/log/messages the following entrys apear:

rpc.idmapd[6669]: dirscancb: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt4d1): No such file or directory
automount[7037]: lookup_mount: lookup(yp): key ".view.dat" not found in map

is rpc.idmapd required on a NFS client?

The following operands are supported: [server][::port|:display] Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address, it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter- natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be used. If the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed. Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024. If a display number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port. Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the same time. EXAMPLES
