About the gconftool-2 postinstall script hangs:
Is there an easy way to figure out why gconftool is hanging?
I guess the problem is starting up gconfd-2. It fails if there is a stale /tmp/gconfd-USER directory with files in it, look into /tmp if there is a directory gconfd-USERNAME and if so remove it and try to run the postinstall script again. You may need to shutdown any running gconfd-2 instances to do so.
That's not it. /tmp is empty. Also, if I try to see if gconfd is running with "gconftool-2 --ping", that also hangs.
And during gconftool-2 is running (hanging), gconfd-2 is active or doesn't it run at all?
Evtl. you're using another directory as TMP? What says: set | grep TMP set | grep TEMP
Probably the same reason why gnomevfs-ls hangs for you, the tools are just sitting there and waiting until gconfd-2 is ready.
It only hangs for http. ftp and local stuff seems to work fine.
Interesting. As I said, the tools always are sitting there and waiting until gconfd-2 is started up and ready, however I would expect that all tools are failing then.
How is it going?
It you're actually using /tmp as your TMP directory and the problem is not resolved yet, it would help me to debug this problem if you could post the output of `cygcheck -svr` *as an attachment*, please.
