I'm starting to think this is a bit more serious than before unless we're talking child process attributes.

What's the point? They are all like the example in the first post.
Edit:
Yay, official recorded post #300 \o/

Well the fact that you are getting more than one message could potentially mean that there are more things wrong unless it is the mother process with the problem and the child process are coming as a fact that the mother is running with them

So you type in let's say 'gnome-system-monitor' in a term and gnome-system-monitor
fails to start at all? |

Ok, I'm doing a bit of hacking on gconf right now, so this is familiar territory.
All the "source" paths for gconf are listed in /etc/gconf/2/path
This usually has the addresses for 3 sources which are (in order):
xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/
xml:readonly:~/.gconf
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/
The first two are marked readonly, so it is doubtful that gconf messed
these up. Now, if your /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/ is messed up, then that's
generally bad, and you would need to reinstall the program whose keys are
messed up to get them to work again (since each program installs it's keys in
the make install stage usually). Depending on what kind of errors
you are getting from client programs, you might be able to go to specific
directories and fix the %gconf.xml file. If you give me specific error
messages from client programs, I might be able to help out. |

Hmm, oh well, best way to restart from scratch is reinstalling your system (note, I had multiple issues besides this one)
It's all working just fine now, thanks for the help  |
