For dconf to work correctly when using
Network File System (NFS) home directories, the
dconf keyfile back end must be
used.
-
Create or edit the /etc/dconf/profile/user file
on every client.
-
At the very beginning of this file, add the following line:
service-db:keyfile/user

In-process changes will take effect immediately, but out-of-process
changes will be delayed by the poll time on GFileMonitor.
The dconf keyfile back end will only
take effect the next time that the user logs in. It polls the keyfile to
determine whether updates have been made, so settings may not be updated
immediately.

According to Ryan, "SIGBUS being semi-randomly delivered to your
processes is a real downer". This means stuff will crash.
If a keyfile back end is not used, the user settings may not be
retrieved or updated correctly.
