Now this does not happen for all users. From what I can tell, it only happens for users which have their home directory on an NFS mounted file system. Users with local homedirs can start up IDEA just fine. I also tested this for a fresh user (with no previous IDEA settings, modules, etc) with NFS home, and it also fails, so it seems not linked to some broken user setting or plugin
