Re: gnopernicus startup error

[Bill Haneman <bill haneman sun com>]

Padraig:

this sounds like the reappearance of an old bug.  Is it possible that
your gnopernicus gconf preferences are way out-of-date?

You might try removing ~/.gconf/apps/gnopernicus and reinstalling
gnopernicus, to reset things to the correct defaults.  I do not know
whether 'make uninstall' on gnopernicus will do this for you or not.
