Unfortunately, this is not the problem. I tried it. It didn't work. I
am going to once again try to upgrade my system. I hope that will fix
this problem.
Thanks Anyway:

Subject: gcondf error--nautilus has gone haywire!
Hello, I ran into this problem today. Nautilus crashed and now I have no
access to the taskbar, my external hard drive, or any applications
unless I click an icon in the folder. I also get several error messages
just to st art when I log on, and they continue to appear every time I
do anything. This
happens whether I log on as root or a regular user.
Now these error messages state:
ERROR: GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some
possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
ha ve stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf for information. (Details-1 IOR file
'/tmp/gcondf-root/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gcondf located.
N o such file or directory. Details-2 IOR file
'/tmp/gcondf-root/lock/ior' no t opened successfully, no gcondf located.
No such file or directory.)
This is repeated a few times. I found the /tmp/gcondf-root directory but
there was nothing inside of it. How did the subdirectories just
disappear , or is that what really happened? Now, I did expand the
permissions on the
entire tmp directory to rwx for all becuase I was moving some junk out
of
it, but I did not touch the aforementioned directories at all.
Neverthele ss, could expanding the permissions have something to do with
this? I am real ly at a loss for this one, and the situation is
desperate!
Thank You for Responding:
