	gnome-panel in 2.0/2.2 was dumb - it treated GConf like a normal
configuration file by loading the configuration on startup and saving it
on exit. GConf apps are supposed to only change values in the database
as a result of user input and then react to notifications of those
changes being successful.

	In GNOME 2.4 the panel's configuration code has been re-written and
does things right.

	On logout, do you see errors in syslog or is a error dialog presented
to? If its just warnings to syslog they can be safely ignored (there's
probably some way you could filter them out).
