FC6 - gconf entries in sys log

[Laurence Vanek <lvanek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My system log is filling up with these messages every few minutes.  I do 
not  understand what going on here.  System seems fine otherwise, more 
of an irritation than anything else.

===========
Nov  5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): starting (version 
2.14.0), pid 4906 user 'lvanek'
Nov  5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): Resolved address 
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only 
configuration source at position 0
Nov  5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): Resolved address 
"xml:readwrite:/home/lvanek/.gconf" to a writable configuration source 
at position 1
Nov  5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): Resolved address 
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only 
configuration source at position 2
Nov  5 10:55:31 localhost gconfd (root-4811): GConf server is not in 
use, shutting down.
======================

there are no entries in directory "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" so Im 
confused (not a unique experience for me).
