Almost certainly a duplicate of bug #524265 in some fashion or another. I just now realized the tracebacks were identical. I have no idea why removing this file made the problem go away, at the time... ah, well. Upgrading cx_Oracle to 4.4.1 and re-adding the %gconf-tree.xml file no longer produces the errors. Marking as a duplicate and closing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 524265 ***
