Bug#357540: gconf2: Failed to get lock

[Ross Boylan]

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.12.1-12
Severity: normal

I'm seeing this periodically in my logs:
Mar 17 14:51:46 iron gconfd (ross-3055): Failed to get lock for daemon, exiting: Failed to lock '/tmp/gconfd-ross/lock/ior': probably another process has the lock, or your operating system has NFS file locking misconfigured (Resource temporarily unavailable)

That message came a couple of minutes after a reboot.  I think the
others may also be shortly after boots.

I'm not sure what the signficance of the error message is, e.g., if
there really is another process so I still have the service.  I'm
running KDE.
