SRU Justification:

Impact:
The original bug report[1] refers to the failure in running pulseaudio
when $HOME is NFS4 mounted.

[1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893787

Fix:
Reverting Lucid 0a69d50207d9e098eeb98b516b1b08b4d05dbc6f commit
(47c85291d3dd1a51501555000b90f8e281a0458e commit upstream) will fix
this issue.

Testcase:
Although I haven't tested this myself, the original bug reporter
provides a test case:

1. Mount ~ from NFS4

2. start pulseaudio:
   ~$ pulseaudio
   E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory
   (/home/foo/bar/.pulse): Remote I/O error

3. Actual Results:  
   pulseaudio does not work
   Expected Results:  
   pulseaudio should work
