remote mount GNOME home directory?



I have searched the mailing archive, some news groups, and google, and
found no success stories.

I am trying to run a GNOME session over the network via LDAP
authentication, to remotely mount (nfs, webdav, smb...) an user's home
directory. So far, from both my own experience and what I gathered from
other's stories, no luck.

The post points out that GNOME is "picky" about file locking. How so
exactly? I am hoping some GNOME developers can clarify this for me. Is
GNOME capable of running a remotely mounted home directory? My
impression from those who I have talked to and things I have read
suggest that perhaps it is not a supported feature, or is not yet mature
enough to be used.
