Hi,

I'm not using the full GNOME desktop but only single applications like 'meld'.

(Only) for some users (including root on one machine and a non-root user on an another machine)
meld fails with :

File "/usr/lib64/meld/meld/ui/historyentry.py", line 121, in _save_history
self.__gconf_client.set_list(key, gconf.VALUE_STRING, gconf_items)
glib.GError:
Configuration server couldn't be contacted: D-BUS error: Can't overwrite
existing read-only value: Value for
`/apps/gnome-settings/meld/history-direntry' set in a read-only source at the
front of your configuration path


I have even removed $HOME/.gconf  and $HOME/.local/meld with no success.

Any hints are very much appreciated,
Helmut.
