[Bug 336660] Re: GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server using root user

[Arnaldo Mandel]

I just upgraded to Jauunty alpha6 from intrepid.  The bug is new.

gnome-terminal opens fine from my user account.  However
gksudo gnome-terminal
sudo gnome-terminal

end with just the line:

Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.
(there was not even a linefeed at the end)

Tried the same with gedit, it came up.
Tried with tomboy (works normally from my account), it didn't come up, and produced a backtrace, attached.

This box is not an nfs client, so I suppose nfs locks are not to be
looked for.  As for orbit, I could not find any docs on how to enable
networking for it.


dbus is on. From ps:

root     12572     1  0 17:38 pts/0    00:00:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch
e1190ffd58d35b3da111b4f9495a54b1 --binary-syntax --close-stderr

Is it still a non-bug?
