oaf_init has to be called before gconf_init. if you do it the other way
around, gconf will start an oafd, and oaf_init will start another one. which
leaves one dangling oafd after the program exits. Look at the code from
encompass-old, dobey applied a patch to it a couple of weeks ago which fixed
this exact issue.
