[wellylug] Gconf message

[Daniel Reurich]

Hi Edouard,

What distro and desktop environment.

If you've managed to get gnome apps installed without the supporting 
libraries (if I recall correctly you preferred KDE) then it's probably 
the reason for your issue.  Otherwise it's likely your users .gconf or 
.gconfd file is corrupt.

If your try to find and install the package gconf2 (that's what it's 
called in Debian and deriviatives like ubuntu.

Cheers,
	Daniel.
