1�/ I know. That's why I open this bug report. first time I report this (
24/09/2003 ) i tried several things like deleting gconf directory, gnome
directory, etc ... but nothing. I believed that some NFS fixes in the kernel had
solved the problem, but not way. So i switch to kde, but now i'm testing kde 3.2
and that many are not right, I witch back to gnome and have the same problem.
see -> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker&m=106441236511481&w=2

2�/ done. still the same problem with gnome-setting-daemon

3�/ done. It starts, not error messages. Themes are applyed ( I tried this also
in september ).

4�/ yes it starts ok. bonobo-slay ( i could I even know this command !!!! ) say
that thay are some process still runnning ( the same that the one you can see in
my attachement ) and that it will kill them.
/usr/lib/bonobo-activation-server * 2
/usr/lib/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat * 3

Environment :

/home NFS mount ( vers=3, tcp, rsize=8192, wsize=8192, nosuid, soft, intr,
timeo=600 )

serveur = mdk 9.1 + soft RAID1 ( ext3 partition ), PIV

client = current cooker ( 2.4.22-10mdk, GConf-1.0.9-11mdk, GConf2-2.4.0.1-1mdk,
nfs-utils-clients-1.0.5-1mdk, kdebase-3.1.92-2mdk, metacity-2.6.1-1mdk ), AMD

Symptoms :
if for example I quit abruptly gnome - CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE ), next time I want to
log, I can't because gnome can't remove the lock ( or find a lock ) in
~/tmp/gconf-username/ ( this location change between mdk 9.1 and mdk 9.2, before
this was ~/.gconfd/... ). 
Sometimes you can read the message saying that you have a locking problem ( and
thus read the path to the lock ) but sometimes you see nothing ( just some
windows with dash instead of text ... ).
A bad combinaisaison is when you log in and have the gnome preference daemon bug
( see #6138 ), then you decide to stop everything before it mess up your session
config ( as it asks to remove some applets ... ) by hitting CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
You reboot the computer to resolve the problem ( argh )and when you try to log
in again ... gconf locking problem ( so you need to remove manually the lock )
and then you can log in ( so 3 attempts and 1 reboot just to log in in Gnome ! ).
This is really painfull when you have several computers to administer under
gnome. the locking proble can be solve by erasing by hand the lock at each gnome
start ( i put this in /etc/gnome/gnomerc ), but this is just a hack. Gnome is
really too fragile in an NFS environment ...
