Yes! Very cool! In fact I've seen this CORBA error plus the others you described as well on one of the Windows machines I had around (win2000), but not on another (winXP). I *thought* this was due to win2000, but if you're experiencing this on winXP, then it's due to something else. I wrote about this at the bottom of http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows and I was thinking of some DNS problems... It's an ORBit problem, so it's really something low-level CORBA that's failing here. If you download the ORBit source and run "make check", it will fail during communication testing, which would otherwise work fine. Unfortunately the ORBit people have no hint or workaround for this problem :-( > When I run GnuCash it brings up window after window of the command > prompt with the heading: c:/soft/gnome/libexec\gconfd-2.exe.

If you ignore this error (i.e. press Ok), and press "Skip" in the GConf-setup druid dialog, and wait several minutes, then eventually the gnucash main window will show up. You can even open a register, but have to wait several minutes until all these gconf error windows popped up and disappeared again... In other words: If you've come this far, then everything from the gnucash side is fine, but you've run into some unknown ORBit bug that we cannot explain right now. Most other computers don't see this, so we really have no idea what this comes from.
