Running gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule causes segfault

[Neil Jagdish Patel <neiljpatel yahoo co uk>]

Hi,

I hope you can help me sort out a silly problem I have been having with
schema installation:

I have created a program which uses gconf, and uses its makefile to
install the gconf schemas. The problem I get is that whenever make
install runs the following command: 

GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule ./avant-window-navigator.schemas;

I get a segfault when I try to launch the application :[root Fedora
avant-window-navigator]# avant-window-navigator 

(process:25320): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization
assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:25320): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:25320): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault

the only way to use the application is to restart gconfd-2.

I have done much googling, and cannot find a reference to this type of
problem, and I think it is something to do with my schema file, so I
have included the schema file at the bottom.

I would appreciate any help you can give me, as this is affecting *all*
of my users, across different distros.

Thanks in advance, 

Neil
