Not really a very good solution now. :( I'm running gconf 1.0.0 and cannot
get gnomemeeting to fire at all.  No problems compiling it, but when I
Start it I get "Please check your gconf permissions and settings" or
simular, and then the program aborts.

Why does Gnome Meeting rely on gconf now?  I know it is afterall called
"Gnome" Meeting, but I appreciated that you could happily run it outside
of the gnome desktop, and the fact that it didn't *heavily* need gnome to
compile and run.  Now it seems this is not the case.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Gnome Meeting and have been using it
happily for many months.  I just want to go to the latest version
(0.85.1).  But now I am kind of stuck :( Is there someway to maybe disable
gconf support, or to get this working?
