[Pedro Villavicencio]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the
development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you
could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next
release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release
at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your
help.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gconf

  I am connecting from a Jaunty computer to another computer running
  Jaunty, using ssh X11 forwarding.

  When I try to open any application such as gedit, I get the following
  error over and over again:

  GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
  causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
  have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
  http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1:
  Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp
  /dbus-QS6NzEDBEh: Connection refused)

  
  The application does not open.

  Client machine:
  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04

  
  Server:
  lsb_release -rd
