   I've raised a bugzilla report for this 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=147937);  I'm fairly 
certain that all of the problems stem from gconf2 returning duff data 
(when it's defaults from the schemas, NOT from my amended settings, 
which, once set, seem to be OK);  it means that a lot of stuff is borked 
for even new users.

   For some reason gconf2's gconf_client_get is returning the fact that 
there's something there, but the type & value are unset which a lot of 
apps. don't like (e.g., my (& new user's) metacity has no keybindings 
unless I add them back into my own settings.  More details in bugzilla.

   I've 'rpm -q --verify'd all gnome/gcnof/metacity I can see & 
nothing's reporting as bad :-(
