Bug#348010: gconf2 hangs

[Roman Zippel]

Hi,

I looked into this and it turns out to be a problem in orbit2 (see #390516 
for more info). The problem is that gconfd-2 fails to start up and 
gconftool-2 waits forever for it.
It might be a good idea to make gconftool-2 a bit more robust and let it 
check that gconfd-2 started up properly and didn't exit before 
communication could be established.

bye, Roman
