Re: no database available to save your configuration

[Sam Steele <chip c99 org>]

This should be a FAQ too :)  You need to add

xml:readewrite:$(HOME)/.gconf

to the garnome/etc/gconf/2/paths file.  If you want stuff like Galeon
from GNOME 1.x to work, too, you also have to add the paths from
/usr/etc/gconf/1/paths or wherever your GNOME 1.x gconf config file is.
