sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults [note plural "defaults" rather than "default"] fixed the problem for me too. I got the same errors [apart from his typo] as Andy Pascall in tty running "/usr/lib/libconf-2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2" . [Note running this in a GUI terminal will not work.]
