If you had network mount points in your homespace, and they weren't
currently available, you'd hang for a long time on anything trying to
read the directory of your homespace (such as the file requester in OO,
listing the homespace, checking the free space on drives, etc.).  But
applications which don't do such things, such as Firefox and
Thunderbird, would work fine.
