I'm getting a pop-up error when I start up my Fedora 7 desktop which says:-
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-terminal. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
If I click the "Details" button it tells me:-
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-chris/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: Failed to convert IOR '' to an object reference) 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: Failed to convert IOR '' to an object reference 2: Failed to convert IOR '' to an object reference)
The "Details" really are duplicated like that so I'm not convinced that they're really telling the truth.
I have looked at http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ but it doesn't seem to say anything directly relevant.
I have been mucking about with my network setup, changing the (private range) IP addresses of my Fedora machine and the router but it's all working OK (web, ssh, etc.) apart from the above gnome-terminal error.
Any ideas anyone?

Nothing useful to suggest, but I got the exact same error today (not seen it before) booting an Ubuntu 7.04 LiveCD on an old PC. I put it down to lack of RAM, but doubling the RAM made no difference.
Unexpected 29th Feb a possibility?

:-) It doesn't seem to break anything so I'm not too worried.
