gnome2 doesn't start anymore - gconfd problem



Title: gnome2 doesn't start anymore - gconfd problem

   Hello,

   My gnome2 config was working fine on my laptop, and suddenly since
this morning it doesn't start anymore. So i tried starting gnome apps
from an xterm, with no success. gconfd-2 is running and eats up lots of
resources (top shows a continuously increasing memory usage), but the
app itself doesn't start.

   Here is the system info :

[desrefa l-at6122 desrefa]$ ps jaxwww | grep gconf
      1  4698  4694  4320 pts/0     4705 D     1696   0:17
/usr/local/libexec/gconfd-2 11
   4320  4706  4705  4320 pts/0     4705 S     1696   0:00 grep gconf

gconf-sanity-check-2 doesn't produce any output.

Syslog ouput (in user.log) :
Sep 10 13:05:17 l-at6122 gconfd (desrefa-4698): starting (version
1.2.1), pid 4698 user 'desrefa'

"xml:readonly:/usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only
config source at position 2

i'm using mandrake 8.2 with a custom 2.4.18 kernel (some laptop specific
patches applied)

Thanks for any help,
