Warning. Using "soft" can cause silent data corruption.
$ man 5 nfs
soft / hard
Determines the recovery behavior of the NFS client after an
NFS request times out. If neither option is specified (or
if the hard option is specified), NFS requests are
retried indefinitely. If the soft option is specified, then
the NFS client fails an NFS request after retrans
retransmissions have been sent, causing the NFS client to
return an error to the calling application.
NB: A so-called "soft" timeout can cause silent data
corruption in certain cases. As such, use the soft option
only when client responsiveness is more important than data
integrity. Using NFS over TCP or increasing the value of the
retrans option may mitigate some of the risks of using the
soft option.
After seeing soft used and seeing the problems it can create I
strongly recommend avoiding it.

I am curious about that too. :-)

I don't think user is valid for nfs mounts. The user flag is usually
for local media. In any case it isn't in the list for nfs mount
options. Also neither is auto. Same with _netdev. Personally I am
only using "async" and nothing more these days. "intr" is okay.
But I am also not sure what you are asking. Initially you wrote:

So the problem is that Nautilus opens after a login? I don't see how
that is related to NFS. How would NFS mount options cause Nautilus to
automatically start up at login time? That sems like an autostart
configuration of GNOME. If you are wanting to prevent that then I
would concentrate on looking there.
