I'm not sure why /home uses NFS 3 while the others use NFS4. They are from the same server and there is no specific config for 3 or 4, so on Fedora 14 I would have expected them to be 4. The server is Fedora 14 as well. I think it is the /home mount that is likely to be causing the problem (as the GUI programs are probably accessing files in the users directory) and this uses NFS V3. So I wouldn't have expected the NFS V4 code to be much involved here. Note this is a Fedora 14 issue. Fedora 12 has been running in this environment for more than a year with the same setup without this issue. I could add a delay before the unmount the NFS file systems as see if this reduces the problem.
