The list of the libraries is missing some, which results in unresolved 
symbols. I think your gconf-config is not working correctly. Look into 
config.log, there should be some lines like
configure:4128: checking for gconf-config
configure:4145: found /opt/gnome/bin/gconf-config
configure:4157: result: /opt/gnome/bin/gconf-config
configure:4165: checking for GCONF - version >= 1.0
configure:4181: result: yes

If you don't have this, be sure you gave sufficient options to configure, for 
reference this are my options:
 ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-compile-warnings 
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-compile-warnings 
--sysconfdir=/etc/opt/gnome --prefix=/opt/gnome --datadir=/opt/gnome/share 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-gnome=/opt/gnome 
--with-gnome-includes=/opt/gnome/include --with-gnome-libs=/opt/gnome/lib 
--with-ptlib-includes=/usr/lib/pwlib/include/ptlib 
--with-ptlib-libs=/usr/lib/pwlib/lib 
--with-openh323-includes=/usr/lib/openh323/include

also check the output from
gconf-config --libs

Maybe there is also something wrong with gconf 1.04 itself, I'm using 1.07. 
You can find a package for it on SuSEs ftp server or its mirrors, it located 
under supplementary/gnome/

Good luck,
Stefan
