Yes -- that's normal. IIRC config-archiver --garbage-collect trims down
that list somewhat.

Ok, that is not the problem, then.

It looks like the only way to catch the error is to do so when you are
logging in. I think the following will work:

1) Start a second X server with "X :1"
2) export DISPLAY=:1
3) oaf-slay
4) Launch a separate terminal and say "DISPLAY=:1
bonobo-moniker-archiver"
5) run gnome-session
6) Observe the output of bonobo-moniker-archiver and send it my way.

I hope that helps to identify the problem.
