For dconf to work correctly when using Network File System (NFS) home directories, the dconf keyfile backend must be used.
Edit the /etc/dconf/profile/user file on every client. If one does not already exist, create it.
Add a line containing service-db:keyfile/user to the file and save your changes.
The dconf keyfile backend 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 imediately.
If a keyfile backend is not used, the user settings may not be retrieved or updated correctly.
