Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
Upgrade to the new version of gconf, now gnome-terminal fails to start with following error:
Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. 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://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=537233c7d8732f36e8be01074d373c87 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch requested, but X11 support not compiled in.\nCannot continue.\n)

I think I am getting the same problem, this time trying to run Gnucash - this has just been updated from 2.4.0_1 to 2.4.0_2 - but it no longer starts up properly. Instead, Gnucash displays error dialogues saying: "The configuration data used to specify default values for Gnucash cannot be found in the default system locations . . . "
This problem has occurred several times before when gconf has been unable to contact dbus. I noticed that gconf has just been updated from 2.28.1_0 to 2.32.0_0 (at the same time as the gnucash update, and a lot of other updates). So I tried reverting gconf to 2.28.1_0 and the new gnucash now seems to work OK

I guess this was assigned to me because I was the one who updated gconf, but I only did so because I noticed the update was available; I don't deliberately use or know anything about gconf. I can revert gconf to the previous version, and/or someone could report this issue to the developers of gconf and see if there is another solution.

I am seeing the same problem. I've just installed MacPorts for the first time, on a new mac, and Gnucash is giving the same issues as above.
I tried activating an earlier version of gconf (download 2.28.1_0 from svn and install), but the issue seems to remain, even after a reboot. Gnucash still asks me for configuration settings each time - as above.

I'm hitting this too, and reverting to gconf 2.28 fixed it.
Unless someone actually knows what's going on, and preferably how to fix it (I certainly don't), I say we back out the upgrade for now.

Please see proposed fix for root cause in #39145.
I have the exact same problem, while running 'meld'. I think dbus is seriously broken at the moment.
I managed to recompile dbus with X support (by modifying the Portfile) and hit another error:
