Details

Lately, gnome-screensaver has failed to start on my machine with Gnome sessions. It can be enabled once Gnome is running, by running 'gnome-screensaver' from a terminal; however, although locking the screen appears to work fine, it results in a shower of error messages:

(gnome-screensaver:4179): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_lookup: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed

(gnome-screensaver:4179): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Internal error: the configuration system was not initialized. Did you call _gnome_vfs_configuration_init?

I have no idea what's going on, though I suspect that the bug is in gnome-screensaver and not gnome-vfs, simce all the other Gnome apps work normally.
This task depends upon

The bug is in gnome-menus which uses gnomevfs to do file monitoring, but doesn't initialize gnomevfs before using it.
