Ah, indeed the log file is kept open for 30 seconds after each time
something is written to it.

Thinking about it, it is strange that, even while only local locks are
used, the log file is put in /home. It should land in the same directory
as the lock, which means in /tmp/gconfd-$user. It will also avoid a lot
of unnecessary writes over the network for NFS homes.

Do other readers agree with that solution?
