btw. XFCE Version is 4.4 build from the Ports, the problem was with 4.2
though.

Sorry, I run xfce with my homedir on NFS w//out the slightest problem at
work (so do quite a few others too), so I think the problem is elsewhere.


Cheers,
Olivier.

Do have any mount-options set? 
My setup's pretty much copy'n'pasted from the FBSD-Handbook, so I'm not to
sure what's wrong here, espacially since all other apps I'm runnig behave
ok.

I just double and triple checked everything I can think of and I still
think this is some kind of error on the side of xfce, since no other
Programm behaves similar or errors when writing to the NFS-Directory.
Strange enough the Problem just occous when trying to write the change of
the Background Image, also this seems to be an FreeBSD specific Problem,
but it's definatly reproducible and I had contact to some other people
with the same problem. I do have a trace of mcs-manager available if
somebody's intressted in working on it.
It's also no problem at all if you need aditional Informations about the
specific setup.
