If you read the mail carefully you will see that it is "-R 7455"

The best answer that I can give you was already in your mail (here
after).

If you think that the message is vague, I'll explain you how it works.
GConf is a daemon that stores user configuration under the form (key /
value).
A schema is a set of keys and their default values. One of the default
values is the BUILD_ID, the date and time where you build.
At the beginning, GnomeMeeting sets if the compilation time and date is
the same as in the schema. If it is not, it means that the schema is not
correctly installed and that GnomeMeeting will not be able to store
values and configurations. Feel free to send a patch with a "not vague
message", thanks.

You can try to get the key manually and see if it corresponds to the
date/time of build :
gconftool --get "/apps/gnomemeeting/general/gconf_test" --type=string

Here is my configuration:
 ls /etc/gconf/schemas/gnomemeeting.schema -l
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        21034 mar 11 16:25
/etc/gconf/schemas/gnomemeeting.schema

ls /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/ -l
total 5
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 jun 17  2001 %gconf.xml
drwsr-xr-x    5 root     root          130 jun 17  2001 eog

drwsr-xr-x   12 root     root          313 fév 11 11:44 gnomemeeting

ls /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ -l
total 5
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 jun 17  2001 %gconf.xml
drwsr-xr-x    5 root     root          130 jun 17  2001 eog
drwsr-xr-x    9 root     root          218 mar 19 14:31 galeon

I hope this helps. Good info was also in that mail :
