galeon wont start, complains of gconf error

[mallum <breakfast@10.am>]

Hi all;

I just apt-getted galeon (woody), but when I try and start it, I get the
following error repeatedly ;


** WARNING **: GConf error:
  Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is
  that you have an existing configuration server (gconfd) running, but
  it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from two machines
  at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit)

running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from

I've checked the galeon faq and also played with the
galeon-config-tool but both to no success :( Can anybody help ?
