Re: GNOME is not saving my settings.

This is a common problem here; it happens whenever NFS locking
gets hosed.

A recent problem resulted in Gnome-Session hanging up after loading
Nautilus. Errors indicated "could not connect to gconf server." Not having
any better idea, I removed the ".gconf" and ".gnome2" and ".nautilus"
directories, forcing Gnome (I thought) to recreate things as though this was
my first login.

That worked -- I could now complete the login, and I could rebuild my
desktop the way I wanted it.
HOWEVER, now Gnome doesn't save and restore my settings. Every restart is
from scratch.

Could someone please suggest where I should look for this problem?

TIA
