Not clear. You're using KDE or Gnome? I thought gconfd was a gnome thing,
looks like this is from when you logged in. Or else for some reason firefox
is causing gconfd to start again, which would sort of explain the error
message, if not the real cause.

GUI window froze or closed?

Are you using any NFS mounts? I've had similar logs before, when trying to
use an NFS mounted home directory. Something about my config sets gnome and
NFS for murder.
