Hi Gordon,

You're right! My mistake. I removed the Source Port rule and did the
following instead:

  # firewall-cmd --add-service=nfs3 --permanent
  # firewall-cmd --reload

This fixed the hanging issue (and probably other stuff I haven't run into yet).

So even though NFS worked fine just doing the usual file related ops
in a terminal, apparently my client is old enough that it's still
doing NFSv3 whereas CentOS 7 has moved on to NFSv4 and that
incompatibility was responsible for the desktop / libreoffice hanging
issue.

Much thanks.

Mike
