Gconf key error

GnomeMeeting got an invalid value for the GConf key "/apps/gnomemeeting/general/gconf_test_age".

It probably means that your GConf schemas have not been correctly installed or the that permissions are not correct.

Please check the FAQ (http://www.gnomemeeting.org/faq.php), the throubleshoot section of the GConf site (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/) or the mailing list archives for more information (http://mail.gnome.org) about this problem.
This task depends upon

Try running gconftool-2 --shutdown after installing gnomemeeting. This is a weird bug that only seems to affect gnomemeeting, and only occurs at random.
I changed the gnomemeeting postinstall stuff from gnomemeeting's own stuff to the generic gnome framework I've been using for a while on some packages now.

After installation or upgrade of gnomemeeting, the postinstall script kills gconfd-2 itself, but that doesn't seem to be enough to pick up changes. Shutting down gconfd using gconftool-2 helps though.

Jan, I tried gconftool-2 -shutdown but saw no difference. In fact IIRC I even restarted Xorg

I'm using XFCE4 atm, cause GNOME 2.10 is very broken. In fact I even tried cd ~; rm .gconfd .gconf .gnome2 -rf
but still the same

I'm sorry, maybe I need to post in a forum to see if other users have it. there it works?
