If gconfd keeps crashing for some reason, it might do this due to a
large ~/.gconfd/saved_state file. To debug, you might run gconfd 
in a debugger and see where it crashes.

I don't have any remotely recent reports of crashes (or huge CPU
usage), so I don't have any immediate guesses re: the problem.

You can also check log files for output.
