For what it's worth, everytime I get these, I run the "killev" script,
then clean up any garbage in the /tmp folder, then I also do an
"oaf-slay" and, depending on the windowmanager/desktop you're using, I
log out and login again (lucky for me I don't use a graphical login
which just dumps me nicely down to the console), and generally it starts
up without a hitch.

Sometimes, as well, in killing gconfd-2 it helps...

One evening Mr. Rudolph Block, of New York, found himself seated at dinner
alongside Mr. Percival Pollard, the distinguished critic.
   "Mr. Pollard," said he, "my book, _The Biography of a Dead Cow_, is
 published anonymously, but you can hardly be ignorant of its authorship.
 Yet in reviewing it you speak of it as the work of the Idiot of the Century.
 Do you think that fair criticism?"
   "I am very sorry, sir," replied the critic, amiably, "but it did not
occur to me that you really might not wish the public to know who wrote it."
