If we did explicit mounting of home-directories, we would have approximatly
10000 nfs-mounts on every machine. Resulting in very heavy nfs-traffic.

They way we mount home-directories is the normal (default even) way when you
deal with nfs-mounted home-directories under Solaris (or probably any large
NFS-installation).


A better fix would probably be to do a stat() and see if a mkdir() is really
necessary for every part of the path given to xfce_mkdirhier().

I totaly agree, but this is *not* what you do in the code.
The code assumes that no directories at all exist on the filesystem.
