Every application (file manager, emacs, firefox, konsole eg ls ~ ...) that wants to access the listing of my home dir, stalls for several minutes. This problem does not exist for any other directory. I do not have a big file in home, and their is 15% free disk space. Another problem, perhaps related to the previous problem, is that printing takes also a real long time (minutes before I get a printer selection from cups).

If so, I would suggest you remove these nfs links and try again. Or you could move these nfs links to a subdirectory if you absolutely need them.
