[kde-solaris] KDE 3.3.1 hangs on startup when userdir is NFS mounted

[Laurent Blume]

Hi everybody,

This puzzles me: when logging in with an account that has an NFS-mounted 
home (through auto_home), KDE hangs indefinitely when starting up, on 
the grey screen..

I put below the content of the .dt logs: seems that the last thing it 
does is start DCOPserveR.

The same account on a local directory (even automounted) does work.
I tried to empty the account, and remove as much stuff as I could think 
off (/tmp, /var/tmp), but still the same.
I worked around /tmp/.ICE-unix not having the right permissions.
I tinkered with the Xsession script to start less of the dt junk.
I tried the C and fr_FR.UTF-8 locales.

Still the same.
System is a freshly installed Solaris 9 9/04, with patches, Xsun + XiG, 
KDE 3.3.1 from Blastwave (w/ pkg-get).

Any idea of what it could be, or where I could look for clues? I've seen 
nothing useful where I looked.

TIA,

Laurent
