[LUG] Gconf problems on Debian

[Henry Bremridge <henry.bremridge@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am having problem with gconf, in that the server keeps restarting

-   Running Debian Etch, Gnucash
-   The only programs that I run that might rely on gconf if
    -   Gnucash
    -   Gnumeric
-   I have run Gnumeric and uninstalled it (but I still have a
    $~/.gconf/apps directory containing information on gnumeric
-   I have read http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ three times and
    still have not managed to understand what the heck is happening.
    However I have run gconftool-2 --shutdown and gconf-sanity-check (as
    root, by mistake; not as user..... NOW I see the advantage of sudo)

Anyway my syslog entry is now as follows


Apr 18 15:40:24 localhost gconfd (henry-6665): starting (version 2.14.0), pid 6665 
user 'henry'

Questions: 

1/ Can anyone point me in the right direction
-   to stop this gconf server starting
-   to stop this ISO 9660 error message (I presume this is because I ran
    gconftool-2 etc as root as opposed to user)
    
2/ I presume that there is no problem if I remove the directory
$/.gconf/apps/gnumeric? Or would it be better if I removed gnucash,
removed the directory and then reinstalled it?

Any assistance much appreciated
