I run FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE alpha, and I've XAUTHORITY set up: % echo $XAUTHORITY /home/mexas/.Xauthority I've gconf2-2.24.0 and ORBit2-2.14.16 Whenever I try to start a browser, e.g. firefox2 or kazehakase I get this message: GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /var/tmp/dbus-9QmJ2ebH21: No such file or directory) GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information.

In addition, the time /var/tmp/orbit-mexas is 1970: # ls -al /var/tmp/|grep orbit-mexas drwx------ 2 mexas wheel 1024 1 Jan 1970 orbit-mexas # And where is that random number comes from in /var/tmp/dbus-9QmJ2ebH21?
