Blocking on IO ...

[Michael Meeks <michael ximian com>]

	Can I apply this - following the bonobo-activation style scheme,
since then we can turn some of the more cunning ORBit2 trace debug on
which dumps to stderr without locking gconfd:

   umask (022);


	Of course - ideally we'd have an environment variable to let it
all spew to the console where it can be easily caught - is that
interesting ?

	Regards,
