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.
