Are you specifying the "lock" option when mounting? I had a similar
problem here - apparently, NFS mounts default to "nolock" mode (for
speed/simplicity?).
An excerpt from my fstab:
192.168.1.2:/var/export/paobu / nfs defaults,lock,rw 0 0
nfs.rsnet:/home /home nfs defaults,lock,rw 0 0
This machine is my main desktop machine and I have GNOME running just
fine. I suspect that uses file locking a fair bit (gconf does, I know
that much). There is something in the gconf (and galeon) FAQ about
trouble with locks on NFS, but fortunately it's not a problem I've hit
upon.
