[solved] GConf error, ORbit and D-Bus

Hi there.
I have serious problems with Arch Linux. I prefer OpenBox to anything else, but making it work like I want is a problem for me in Arch Linux. It's all because of GConf error.

When I try to launch GNOME app, terminal says this to me:

Błąd GConf: Nie można nawiązać połączenia z serwerem konfiguracji. Możliwe, że konieczne będzie uaktywnienie obsługi TCP/IP w
 konfiguracji ORBit, może to też być spowodowane blokadami NFS pozostałymi po awarii systemu. Aby uzyskać więcej informacji proszę 
odwiedzić stronę http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/. (szczegóły -  1: Nie można uzyskać połączenia z sesją: Failed to execute dbus-launch to 
autolaunch D-Bus session)

Result of this bug - I cannot adjust preferences of those apps, I even don't have access to gconf entries in gconf-editor (list is empty). I've tried to fond solution to this in Arch Linux forum, but every thread about it has dead end with no solution.

My .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; 
then
    eval 'dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session'
fi

# OpenBox 3 session
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

In /etc/rc.conf I've added dbus before hal in daemons section.

So... is there any solution to this?

Good news - I've managed to solve this problem myself.

I thought that gconf and orbit are responsible for this, so I've installed them trough ABS. But it wasn't it. It's all because of dbus.
So, I've used ABS to install dbus-core, dbus, dbus-glib and dbus-python and everything started to work after that.

Not for me

You installed those packages with pacman or ABS?

I install all of them with pacman (pacman -S ) and then again with abs (pacman -U ..., after makepkg)
Do I have to first unistall packages install by "pacman -S" before install them from abs ??

I solved my problem
answer:

sudo chown -R user_name ~/.dbus
