I didn'at have any stale lock files mentioned above.  When I reran I got
the following:

Could not resolve the address xml:readonly:/gconf.xml.mandatory in the
configuration file /home/gnome/garnome//etc/gconf/2/path
failed.  Could not make directory /gconf.xml.mandatory permission denied.

Perhaps I need to change file permissions somewhere.
