perhaps your NFS server is configured to support locking and his is not.

(well, we are talking about GtkHTML here - since evolution doesn't use gconf, but bonobo-conf instead - at least up to and including 1.2 - 1.4 is being modified to use gconf exclusively) Jeff > > > Hyo-Je Choi: > > Since you are using RedHat 8.0, I think that they are trying to fix this > kind of issue.
