Can't run any reports

[Steve Moeller]

Hi,
It looks like I have both GConf (ver 1.0.9-16) and GConf2 (ver 2.10.0-4)
installed.  I searched for gconf (locate gconf) and after many pages of
output, saw that gconf is installed at /usr/bin/gconfd-1.

I also looked for a running gconf process and found:

$ ps ax | grep gconf
 2180 ?        S      0:04 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 5
25596 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep gconf

I stopped the gconfd-2 process shown above (kill 2180) and ran gnucash,
running a report still causes gnucash to abort.  BTW, after I ran
gnucash, i saw that the gconfd-2 process was running again.

Let me know if you have any ideas and thx for your help.
Steve
