running kde with cifs mounted homedir (stale lockfiles)

hello board,
i am trying to setup a system with network mounted home directories using cifs. my Samba 3.0.7-Debian runs with unix extensions enabled and my client 2.6.7-rc2-mm2 has cifs support. the homedirectory is mounted using pam_mount succesfully:

[code:1]
mhunger@froob ~ $: mount
//eris/mhunger on /home/mhunger type cifs (rw,mand)
[/code:1]

X11 runs on that. fluxbox, xterm, firefox also do.

but when i try to start kde (without having fluxbox started) i get some messed up window borders and a lots of messages like:

[code:1]
WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/mhunger/.kde3.3/share/config/kwinrc.lock
.
.
.
[/code:1]
(they are looping)
but nothing else happens.

has anyone a clue what these errors mean, and how they could be avoided?
did anyone already succesfully create such a setup (homedirs over cifs + kde)?

thanks, marcus
