homes on NFS: Failed to lock: No locks available

Hi,

I run warty with nis-users. The nis-user
have there homes on (auto-mounted) nfs
devices. Everything works fine but everytime
I try to start a gnome application (e.g. gedit)
I get the following warning multiple times:

** (gedit:10308): WARNING **: Failed to lock:  No locks available

The application starts correct after 4-5 seconds.

Since I get the warning message only for nis-users
with nfs-homes I assume that gnome tries
to lock some files/data on my nfs-dir

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Regards,
  Johannes
