Nice notification area... does it work if my home directory is mounted over NFS yet?

Even in the 3.X days it was problematic but to be honest the last time I tried it was when 4.2 came out and it didn't work at all - kconf_update would go into some kind of infinite loop and keep churning the hard drive on the server indefinitely.

It actually does work now better than it ever has before so either some change to the kernel, or nfs-utils or KDE has fixed the problem.
