Recently noticed: error popup when starting firefox, gnumeric, archive
manager, etc:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information
for {program}. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.
The details window says (in all cases):
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
information. (Details - 1: Server ping error:
IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0)
gconfd isn't running. Manually starting /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 worked
to start gconfd-2, but hasn't affected the gconf errors.
Possibly relevant: Yesterday openrc was updated from 0.6.0-r1 to 0.6.1-r1.
gconfd
Any suggestions regarding what's actually broken and how to fix it?
Thanks.
David

You may want to try to move and backup your ~/.gconf* stuff.
