Okay - I've confirmed my theory:
I've built a couple of alternative versions of the libgiogconf.so

All my edits/tests were made to gapplookupgconf.c in the function

My first test was to call gconf_client_set_error_handling(client,

actually a result of Thunderbird built with support for GIO (disabled by
