Yes, it's probably trying to connect to one of the servers like gconfd.
You could run it in a debugger and hit Ctrl-C when it is hanging, then
look at the stack trace. That should tell you exactly what it is trying
to connect to.

You may need to turn tcp/ip support on for ORBit, either in /etc/orbitrc
or ~/.orbitrc. I think you need to add something like "ORBIIOPIPv4=1",
but I can't find docs about it.
