Gnome won't start now on NFS mounted home dirs

After rebooting hosts (Solaris 9) that previously run Gnome 2 without
problems I can't start it again. It starts on hosts that had not been
rebooted yet.
Also, some another application won't start now, so I assume it is
because of the same cause.
Here are some more information from developer who can't start his
application:

May some latest patches applied to file server (Solaris 8) affect NFS
such a way? Do I need to patch all my Solaris 9 hosts because, say, Sun
decided to correct some locking issues in NFS implementation?
