Whenever I try to log into gnome, or run any gnome applications, I get this error: There was an error loading config from /apps/gnome-terminal/global. (Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory)) I'm typing this from KDE. I really hate KDE. I'm running Gentoo, and the past two days were spent running emerge --emptytree gnome. I have rebooted since then, and it still won't work. Here's my gnome and gconf information: camille ~ # emerge -pv gnome gconf These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
