Strange problem with Gconf : Can't contact configuration server ...

Hi everybody !

I was running KDEmod4, and I decided to go back to openbox

But now, when I launch a program (firefox and nautilus for the moment), I have a weird problem concerning gconf.
When I start nautilus in normal user, I get this : (in french)

(nautilus:9794): Eel-WARNING **: Erreur GConf :
  Le contact du serveur de configuration a échoué ; causes possibles : vous n'avez pas activé le réseau TCP/IP pour ORBit ou des verrous NFS non valides existent suite à un blocage du système. Voir http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ pour plus d'informations. (Détails -  1: La connexion à la session a échoué : Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-x7Qj6M70Yg: Connexion refusée)

The equivalent in english is :

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://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-WsH9f6DK9f: Connection refused)

There are similar thread in the forum dealing about this problem, but I couldn't solve the problem following them (deleting ~/.gconf and ~/.gconf)

When I try to start the Gconf daemon (gconfd), I get this :

La création du serveur de configuration (gconfd) a échoué : Le contact du serveur de configuration a échoué ; causes possibles : vous n'avez pas activé le réseau TCP/IP pour ORBit ou des verrous NFS non valides existent suite à un blocage du système. Voir http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ pour plus d'informations. (Détails -  1: La connexion à la session a échoué : Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-qdEr7uGv0z: Connexion refusée)

Everything is okay when I start programs and gconfd as root.

Thanks in advance !
