(Lucid) When no home directories are present because of NFS problems it
automatically logs out for me, giving no message.
It might be a decent amount of work but it would be really nice if in
case of no home directory Gnome would make a temporary home directory in
/tmp, set home to $HOME variable

Good question. In fact, that's part of why I think a simpler, tighter
"Here's the keystrokes to abort your session" style message might be
preferable to something which recommended the user log out - users

I've run Hardy on a few computers where the home directories were NFS-
mounted. Because of some NFS-problems they would sometimes lose the
connection, and thus the users would have no home directory. In that
case, there would always be a notification box right after login which
said something like
How about this instead:
Well, I'm sure there are a lot of novice programmers out there who
would love to learn the process of how to integrate a new component
into gnome-session, and this is an awesome opportunity for someone
new to get their hands dirty.

Well, someone is welcome to work on the implementation they think is
best, but there are probably more useful ways of investing time. I don't
think this isn't something the desktop team will be spending any time
on.

So I just read this, after penning a response for how we might work
around the bug. If the note at the very end of the page is c
Wow... well I was trying to stay away from designing a solution, and
stick with describing the problem.
But, since you asked, I'll take a stab at it. How about this:
A small component named maybe home_dir_check could be added, which would
see if the home directory existed or not. If it exists

What do you expect gnome-session to do about this in this case then?
There are multiple components in your desktop session which won't work
properly if there is no home directory (eg, dbus, gconf etc will all
fail). It's not entirely clear what you expect to happen

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. This bug
seems to be unrelated to Xorg, not sure exactly which component, but it
is at least Gnome related. Changing to gnome-session. Since this bug has
enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to
mark it a
