Hi, While investigating other issues I've uncovered a little more information which relates to this bug, and which may offer a a workaround for some users.
I've been testing using a "sandbox" LAN connected to an OpenVZ instance; because OpenVZ doesn't support kernel-mode NFS I've been using Debian Lenny's unfs3 package. In this environment, the desktop launcher properties window works fine. The main documented difference between using unfs3 and the kernel-mode server is that unfs3 doesn't support locking, so it looks like this may well be a locking issue: if you wanted to confirm, try mounting /home using the kernel mode server, but with the "nolock" option to disable locking. This isn't an option for us in production environments because we need locking, but it may help some people and may help isolate the underlying issue.
