I also have these problems with nfs-mounted /home on Lucid.  Sometimes
GDM starts and lets me log in before /home is mounted, which leads to
what amounts to a crash.

I made a partial workaround by hacking /etc/init/gdm.conf to make GDM
wait on /home being mounted.  This is an improvement but not a fix.
Sometimes I'm left looking at a text screen for a minute or two before
/home mounts and GDM starts; other times the wait is long and I have to
log in, gain root, manually issue 'mount /home', and manually restart
GDM.

All this works perfectly in Karmic; the problem is new to Lucid.

So can I just copy over Karmic's /etc/init directory to the Lucid
install and have a working system?
