Ok:
Famd is running on both servers and as you noted, that setting on the
remote server was incorrect by default. I enabled it to allow connections
beyond localhost and a review of the logs indicates that worked. The net
result was the same though. Login is slow, and then you get no desktop icons
(attaching screenshot).
The one issue that might be missing us up is that all of $HOME is not on the
NFS mount. All of the gconf settings are stored on the local drive in $HOME,
and then $HOME/Desktop is soft linked to a NFS drive. This was done by design
in order to keep gconf settings always local to the current version of the
current server. So I'm wondering if the soft link of just Desktop is not
accounted for in the code.
I'm a little uneasy about this type of deployment with hundreds of people and
one daemon. If there is a failure of the daemon or it doesn't scale well
everyone is affected. If the daemons lock during the day, all of their
desktops are going to freeze and become non-responsive.
How did the old versions of GNOME work? It might have been low tech, but it
was fast and rock solid stable.
