         I did this and found zero /apps/:

karl at Lucid:~$ cd gconf
bash: cd: gconf: No such file or directory
karl at Lucid:~$ whereis gconf
gconf: /etc/gconf /usr/share/gconf
karl at Lucid:~$ cd /etc/gconf
karl at Lucid:/etc/gconf$ ls
2  gconf.xml.defaults  gconf.xml.mandatory  gconf.xml.system
karl at Lucid:/etc/gconf$ cd
karl at Lucid:~$ cd /usr/share/gconf
karl at Lucid:/usr/share/gconf$ ls
default.path  default.path.md5sum  defaults  mandatory  schemas
karl at Lucid:/usr/share/gconf$


     So where is /apps/?
