[gentoo-catalyst] killall -9 gconfd-2

I've just given catalyst 1.1.4 a go, and ran into a small problem.

Because the killall -9 gconfd-2 has been 'doubled-up', to occur once in
livecd-stage1.sh, and then again inside the preclean script, a problem
occurs. The one inside the preclean script has nothing to kill, so the
whole script then returns a 'fail'. 

This unfortunately causes an 'exit 1' in livecd-stage1.sh, which kills
it all.

I think the one killall directly in livecd-stage1.sh should be enough,
and it failing there will not cause a problem.

Might be worthwhile to toss something out quick to fix this as
livecd-stage1 will now likely fail for just about everyone.

Strange.  It has worked fine for me in several tests already.

Anyway, we have bugs.gentoo.org, which is where bug reports are to be
sent.  I will fix this in CVS, but in the future, report bugs/fixes
there.
