GConf Permissions Problem



Hi.  I just installed Mozilla 0.9.4 and Galeon 0.12,
compiled from source, and am having problems...
I upgraded GConf to version 1.0.4.  I am getting the
error "Cannot find a schema for galeon
preferences...."
I have looked at the FAQ and it didn't solve the
problem.

I am pretty sure it is a permission problem, because I
can su and run galeon as root, but I get the schema
error when running as a regular user.  When running as
root I have no problems, everything works fine.... 
Oh another thing.... When running galeon as a normal
user in a gnome-terminal, there is no output.  I did
run it once as root at got an error like type
mismatch, expected string and got schema.  I just
removed the ~/.gconf and ~/.gconfd directories,
restarted gconf, and galeon worked.  (this was as
root....)

The path file in /usr/etc/gconf/1 is the default, and
the /usr/etc/gconf and all subdirectories are world
readable....  the galeon.schema file in
/usr/etc/gconf/1/schema has permissions 755.  I can
open the galeon.schema file in gvim as a normal user,
and see the key /schemas/apps/galeon/galeon_test on
the top of the file.

Any other ideas of where to look for files that don't
have the right permission?  I installed gconf and
galeon, hoping they would set up all the right files
with the right permissions.  I have even deleted the
.gconf, .gconfd, and .galeon directories in the user
home dir.
