Can you give us any gconf-related messages from /var/log/messages? Also try gconf-sanity-check-2 and give any messages that prints? Also "strace -o /tmp/output -f gconfd-2" and attach /tmp/output to this bug?

From Havoc Pennington (hp) on 2003-10-08 16:12 ------- Did you install any third-party packages? Can you "Create a New Attachment" to this bug with /tmp/output from "strace -o /tmp/output -f gconftool-2 -g /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode" How about: "strace -o /tmp/output -f gconfd-2" and "strace -o /tmp/output -f gconf-sanity-check-2" Please reopen the bug if adding more information. Thanks!
