SL_startgnome_afs: Configure GNOME to work with AFS home directories

- Summary
-
GNOME assumes that user processes may be left running after a session
has been closed. This is not a good idea on AFS, since these processes
will not be able to touch the user's home directory anymore, so lock
files stay in place etc...
This RPM modifies the session launched via gdm to remove old lock
files before starting (when most likely we have credentials) and after
shutting down (when we may not have credentials), and stops a number
of services launched on the user's behalf.
For AFS users, it also tells GNOME to create future lock files in a
local temporary directory. This no longer prevents multiple instances
of GNOME from running in parallel (and so in theory risks gconf
corruption), but prevents AFS corruptions.
