Even better, the gconf database (files in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults)
need to be regenerated periodicaly.

First advantage this will reduce the size of this directory. In my case
20 MB to 8MB. In fact this directory store old configurations even if a
package is removed. May be an issue for #258704.

Second advantage, this will avoid this sort of problem. I've noticed
this problem several time when gconf fail because a previous file
generated in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults is broken
