In article <3906@uc.msc.umn.edu> wes@msc.edu asks if there's a way,
for performance reasons, to make Pandora stop checking for icons in
every user's home directory.

We could definitely use this, too.  Most of our also have home directories
on other machines, and when Pandora goes looking for a home directory on a
machine that's down, it hangs (and nobody can log in) until the other
machine comes back up!
