There's something wrong then.

Have you tried force killing all the gconfd processes?  I occasionally
get what appear to be system hangs on my linux system (gconftool-2
commands fail, can't open new gnome-terminal windows, etc, etc) that all
stem from a hung gconfd process.  When I kill that process, everything
else starts working again.
