Hum... I cannot figure out how to fix this particular issue.
I have tried to look for information in forums and mailers
but have not found any solutions to this. Can you take a
look at the following and perhaps you might already know
of a solution?

Oct 30 16:42:26 bronze gdm-simple-greeter[15590]: WARNING: gconf key
'/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages' is unset
Oct 30 16:42:26 bronze gconfd (gdm-15650): Error setting value for
`/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages': Unable to store a value
at key '/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages', as the
configuration server has no writable databases. There are some common
causes of this problem: 1) your configuration path file
/etc/gconf/2/path doesn't contain any databases or wasn't found 2)
somehow we mistakenly created two gconfd processes 3) your operating
system is misconfigured so NFS file locking doesn't work in your home
directory or 4) your NFS client machine crashed and didn't properly
notify the server on reboot that file locks should be dropped. If you
have two gconfd processes (or had two at the time the second was
launched), logging out, killing all copies of gconfd, and logging back
in may help. If you have stale locks, remove ~/.gconf*/*lock. Perhaps
the problem is that you attempted to use GConf from two machines at
once, and ORBit still has its default configuration that prevents
remote CORBA connections - put "ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc. As
always, check the user.* syslog for details on problems gconfd
encountered. There can only be one gconfd per home directory, and it
must own a lockfile in ~/.gconfd and also lockfiles in individual
storage locations such as ~/.gconf

==============================================
1) Not sure how to set the gconf key and path
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/recent-languages
and /apps does not exist.
2) Seems that gconf path file is there:
# cd /etc/gconf/2
# ls
evoldap.conf local-defaults.path local-mandatory.path path
3) gconfd was not doubly started, AFAIK - checked pgrep gconfd
and only one processID exist.
4) There are no locks located in ~/.gconf*/*locks
I have removed and reinstalled gdm but that did not help.
Not sure what to do at this point...
Thanks!

Sorry, I missed the very beginning of gdm start, so here it is...
