From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: I'm using GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS env variable to move the lock file to the /tmp directory. When I run Galeon it complains about GConfd.When running gconf-sanity-check-1, it reports: "Failed to get a file lock: Failed to create or open '/home/user1/.gconfd/lock/ior' I'm assuming that GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS is not working for this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Mount home directory on a non-ext2 file system 2.export GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS=1 (ICEAUTHORITY=1) 3.startx 4.galeon Actual Results: Error - Cannot find a schema for galeon preferences. Check your gconf setup, look at galeon FAQ for more info. Expected Results: Galeon should start with no errors. Additional info: hp added: Yeah the problem here is that Galeon is using gconfd-1, which doesn't understand GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS.
