I have encountered the same problem. When I run /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 from a terminal, the following message appeared:
Please contact your system administrator to resolve the follwing problem: Could not open or create the file "(null)"; this indicates that there may be a problem with your configuration, as many programs will need to create files in your home directory. The error was "Failed to create file '/tmp/gconf-test-locking-file-X6BCVV': Permission denied" (errno = 13).
