Case (1) seems to chime with what I mentioned in comment #53 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/138691/comments/53 ) about having the dbus shutdown script (K20dbus) in rc0.d as well. However, I did not verify at the time whether that has any ill side effects.

Case (2) is apparently what we experienced here. We do not have any VPN involved, but we do have NFS. The one thing I noticed: At home, I have an OpenBSD NFS server and currently (among others...) one Kubuntu 8.04 and one Kubuntu 7.10 workstation hanging off it, with several directories mounted statically (i.e. via fstab) from the NFS server. Neither of those shows the problems we observed at work. My guess is that it is not simply NFS, but in some way also the NIS+automounter set-up we have here.
Also, umountnfs did not time out in our set-up - at least not within 24h (I tried...)
