You certainly should not need to run --install-schema-file as the user. I 
think the real reason for this is that some old version of the GConf 
package installed /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults and some of it's 
subdirectories such that they were not readable by the users gconf.

chmod -R a+rw /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults

fixed all the problems I had, but i never saw the %post failing. 

Is there any chance the original reporter can delete all traces of 
gnomemeeting, do the chmod and try again?
