May well be, I did not delve too deep into this to figure. If
gconf swallows error conditions, that's for sure a bug in gconf.

I have no problems escalating this, but I need to be certain that it's
not balsa that loses the problem report. I haven't got time to track
this down, though :-(

An error condition that is not reported is a bug. Regardless of where it
occurs.
