I think this seems like a reasonable place to put this.
Anyway, after an update last week gconfd isn't launching when I log on. I use openbox and not gnome, so this isn't the hugest problem I've ever had, but since I do use a few apps that utilize it, it's a little bothersome. I've been using terminator as my terminal, and every time I launch it I get an error window. I get a similar window with Firefox. Both launch and run after the error messages, but I still get the window. Other programs, like gedit, don't have my saved setting when run.
Here's the errors:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for terminator. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.And then after clicking "details":
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: Failed to get connection to session: Error connecting: Connection refused)

(Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Error connecting: Connection refused)With the searching I've already done I've come across some "solutions" that haven't done anything. Anything having to do with .gnome* folders, .dbus, etc, haven't done anything. One page suggested running "ps -eo user,cmd | grep dbus" and the same with "grep gconf" to see if one of them isn't running; doing so, I get no results when checking for gconf. When trying to start gconf manually by running "gconftool-2 --spawn" I get the following, similar error:
Failed to spawn the configuration server (gconfd): 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: Failed to get connection to session: Error connecting: Connection refused)I tried installing python-gconf (and therefor uninstalling gnome-python, since they conflicted), since it was something mentioned on one page, and doing so stopped the error occurring when I open terminator, but it still happens with Firefox, and gedit still wouldn't allow me to change settings. I got rid of it agian.

Just an update: anything that uses python seems to run into problems. Deluge simply won't open, nor Caffeine, and Quod Libet has the usual error message.
Hope someone can help me out.

Ignore this.
