NFS is the problem. I have only done basic testing but found that the
debian stat server(rpc.statd) is very flakey. this prevents locks from
being created which means many gnome apps will take a long time to start
or not start at all or crash. KDE doesn't appear to have a problem with
not being able to create locks so maybe you should try that. in my basic
testing I have a redhat 7.3 server here and the stat server on it seems
much more solid. I haven't yet tried to copy the binary over to my
woody box and try to run it and see the results yet..
possible workarounds/solutions:
1) try another OS for the NFS server
2) try using apps that don't require locks(e.g. non gnome stuff, though
many gtk things like mozilla, gimp work fine without locks)
3) try grabbing rpc.statd from another linux distro see if it makes any
difference
4) try to find exactly what the problem is. it may not be rpc.statd on
your system but with all the problems I've had with it theres a good
chance that it is
