GnuCash on Windows - CORBA errors

[Mike Taylor]

I finally got through all the compiling and everything in the install.sh 
with the win32 package on my Windows XP machine.  Right before the 
install.sh script finished, it gave me this error:

------------
Failed to access configuration source(s): Adding client to server's list 
failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
------------

However, it seems that everything still compiled regardless.

When I run GnuCash it brings up window after window of the command 
prompt with the heading: c:/soft/gnome/libexec\gconfd-2.exe.  After 
about thirty seconds of those command windows popping up and 
disappearing it brings up an error in a GTK window: "An error occurred 
while loading or saving configuration information for gnucash.  Some of 
your configuration settings may not work properly".

The program seems to run but continually complains about "Cannot find 
default values".  Here are the errors that are shown in the msys window:

------------
$ ./gnucash
