Is your .Xauthority mounted over NFS?

What's the other end of the NFS link, if so? Is it an nfsd that supports
locking?

(If it's a Linux knfsd and Linux client, you must run the rpc.statd
daemon on *both* the client and server, and each of them must allow the
other to contact their rpc.statd in tcp-wrappers.)
