Title:
  GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server

Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gconf

  Login takes an exceedingly long time.  When the desktop does finally
  appear, a window appears with the following error message: "GConf
  error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause
  is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session but daemon.  See
  http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.  (Details - 1:
  GetIOR failed: Timeout was reached)"

  Other similar errors have been reported, but they all seem to be in
  response to SSH or remote desktop logins.  This is a normal login,
  although the user home area is NFS-mounted from another host via
  LDAP+NFS+AutoFS.  This auto-mounted methodology works properly on all
  other hosts running Ubuntu-9.10.  The problem host differs in that it
  is running Ubuntu-11.04.
