There's lots of default cron jobs and background daemons running in
modern Gnu/Linux that you'll hear about those in your root mailbox or
log files:
---------------------

address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" \
to a read-only configuration source at position 0

writable configuration source at position 1 Oct 23 \
19:57:59 heretic gconfd (keeling-11360): Resolved \

to a read-only configuration source at position 2
---------------------
I've no idea what that means, nor what to do about it. I have Gnome
but use Blackbox.
Similarly, Cron complains about once a month that links to btdownload*
manpages through /etc/alternatives is a dangling symlink. No biggie.
