But should not be required. OK, I tried the following: [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ ps aux | grep gconf ccurley 23496 0.0 0.4 7824 2376 pts/2 S 08:19 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 ccurley 23564 0.0 0.2 3888 1416 pts/6 S 08:40 0:00 /usr/bin/gconfd-1 ccurley 24061 0.0 0.1 4644 588 pts/6 S 12:08 0:00 grep gconf [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ killall gconfd-1 [1]+ Exit 1 /usr/bin/gconfd-1 [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ gconftool-2 --shutdown [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ ps aux | grep gconf ccurley 24065 0.0 0.1 5460 584 pts/6 S 12:09 0:00 grep gconf /var/log/messages shows: Sep 19 12:09:03 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-23564): Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly Sep 19 12:09:03 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-23564): Exiting Sep 19 12:09:23 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-23496): Exiting and no lock file. So I ran gconfd-2 manually: [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 & [1] 24082 [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ ps aux | grep gconf ccurley 24082 0.7 0.3 6828 2020 pts/6 S 12:13 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 ccurley 24084 0.0 0.1 4196 584 pts/6 S 12:13 0:00 grep gconf I see the following in /var/log/messages: Sep 19 12:13:48 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-24082): starting (version 2.4.0), pid 24082 user 'ccurley' Sep 19 12:13:48 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-24082): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only config source at position 0 Sep 19 12:13:48 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-24082): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/ccurley/.gconf" to a writable config source at position 1 Sep 19 12:13:48 charlesc gconfd (ccurley-24082): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only config source at position 2 I now have a lock file.
