I am asking, because at the end of my bug report I have documented how to reproduce the bug. Have you tried to reproduce the bug on your system?
When running "those commands" (I think you mean "gnome-terminal", "firefox" or other applications) I get said "GConf Error". When running them (e.g. the gnome terminal) from the Application Menu, I get a popup which says: "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-terminal. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly". There is a button labeled "Details", when I click this button I get the error messages described above in a textarea in the popup dialog. Trying the dbus-launch command does make no difference: foo...@raven:~$ dbus-launch DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-zMmMdHqH08,guid=fd347750656658e 28506eafc4aca7907 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=12191 foo...@raven:~$ gnome-terminal Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":2.0". ** (gnome-terminal:12192): WARNING **: Can not stat /tmp/orbit-foobar- 282828a8 GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are th at you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks d ue to a system crash.
