Hello Gnome-list community
During startup of gnome, the following messages appear
in the /var/log/messages:
Jul 21 17:16:47 vega gconfd (yarrow-3008): starting (version 2.18.0.1),
pid 3008 user 'yarrow'
Jul 21 17:16:48 vega gconfd (yarrow-3010): starting (version 2.18.0.1),

Jul 21 17:16:50 vega gconfd (yarrow-3016): starting (version 2.18.0.1),
pid 3016 user 'yarrow'
Jul 21 17:16:50 vega gconfd (yarrow-3014): Failed to get lock for
daemon, exiting: Failed to lock '/tmp/gconfd-yarrow/lock/ior': probably

...
Subsequently, I do get a gnome-session which seems to be stable,
with the exception that metacity seems to get lost, so I have to
metacity --replace
from the command line.
The OS: Fedora 7
kernel: 2.6.22.1-27.fc7
gnome-session: 2.18.3
Note that chkconfig nfs and nfslock are both off for all runlevels.
Also, here are the relevant file and dir permissions:
In my user home dir:
find .gconfd -exec ls -ld {} \;
drwx------ 2 yarrow yarrow 4096 2007-07-21 17:48 .gconfd
-rwx------ 1 yarrow yarrow 73658 2007-07-21 17:48 .gconfd/saved_state
[yarrow@vega ~]$ find /tmp/gconfd-yarrow -exec ls -ld {} \;
drwx------ 3 yarrow yarrow 4096 2007-07-21 17:16 /tmp/gconfd-yarrow
drwx------ 2 yarrow yarrow 4096 2007-07-21 17:16 /tmp/gconfd-yarrow/lock
-rwx------ 1 yarrow yarrow 617 2007-07-21 17:16 /tmp/gconfd-yarrow/lock/ior
[yarrow@vega ~]$ cat /tmp/gconfd-yarrow/lock/ior
2894:IOR:010000001600000049444c3a436f6e66696753... (some 617 chars, total)
and seems to be normal.
Note also that starting gnome under root seems to be totally issue free
and no
such error messages are recorded.
Also, all directories my $HOME/.gconf and $HOME/gconfd are
permission 700 and all files are permission 600, where owner
is also yarrow.
Do these startup gconfd error messages sound familiar to anyone ?
