http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ has a workaround, search for GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS. Other than that all you can really do is get Tru64 NFS fixed to support locking. POSIX locking has been standard for many many years, and NFS is supposed to support it. We have a long term plan to avoid the need to lock in the user's home directory, but not something that can be fixed simply. |
