Just did a fresh isntall of 1.4rc1 wanted to merge mozilla. Merged mozilla 1.2.1 and galeon. Try to run galeon and i get this error. GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is that you have an existing configuration server (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit) gconf doesn't start when i try and run galeon. It didn't install the latest version so im doing that now. Its merging stuff like gtk2 and orbit and some libs and newest version of gconf. Will update when thats done. Here is the output of emerge info.

This is one of the gconfd-1 being around or something bugs, spider you probably have a clue here. A suggestion, look around bugzilla some more, there are more (closed) bugs like this.
what is the status here, any progress ?
never heard back, closing
