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 Kat

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.
