gconfd keeps me from unmounting my home directory, how can I get it to exit?

It should exit a couple of minutes after the last application using GConf has exited. 
You could put a "gconftool --shutdown" in your .logout script or the like, 
if you want it to exit sooner.

Gconfd-2 will stay alive for about 30 secs after user has logged out.
Well, if you have nfs4 mounted homes, then debian will hang indefinitely
when you shutdown via gnome, since it will be unable to unmount the 
filesystem because gconfd-2 is using it. 
I am experiencing this on my network.

I think the best solution is to make gconfd-2 be shut down when
user logs out.

I have tried putting the line 
gconftool-2 --shutdown 
on /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default, but doesn't work.
