Description Hindrik Hettema 2003-10-15 06:01:32 UTC 
I am using Gnucash 1.8.7 under Gentoo Linux 1.4. My system has both
"gconfd-1" and "gconfd-2" installed. At a certain moment in time "gconfd-2"
is already running (because I have started evolution, or whatever). When
I then start gnucash, I get the following error:

  gtkhtml-ERROR **: gconf error: Failed to contact configuration server (a   
  likely cause of this is that you have an existing configuration server
  (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in
  from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit)

and the program aborts. If I manually startup gconfd-1 in a x-terminal and
then start gnucash (without termination gconfd-2) the program runs.

1- Gnucash is a gnome-1.4 application, not a gnome-2 application...
2- It's GtkHTML that starts up gconfd, not Gnucash

Therefore I am closing this bug because it is not a gnucash bug.

The gnucash gnome-2 port should "fix" the problem by depending on gconf-2.
