I'm sure this problem is simlar to mine http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2006/01/msg00035.html To solve this problem, I purged all my gnome packages and created a new user. After reconfiguring gnome and its programs, I did a reboot. All of the configuration was lost again. Firstly I thougt $HOME/.gconf/% gconf-tree.xml was readonly, but it wasn't. The errors didn't show up since yesterday, so I think my problem is fixed. But in your case, killall -USR1 gconfd-2 could be useful. Now, gconfd will log more verbose to /var/log/user.log and you hopefully can solve your problem. best regards, jochen
