OK - an update. I now have the local environment working, modulo a lot of
warnings about not being able to find the default printer (bascially
because gconfd is not installed - only the minimal set of libraries it
needed to run). None of this is fatal, it just clutters the place with extra
warning info.

Again  - the patched library doesn't solve the problem. I installed the
libgsf-1-dbg version in the hope that it would give me some more info on
what's going on. Does it need special runes or is it only useful with gdb?

Here is the logging info I get - the interesting bit is perhaps the couple
of critical assert failures?

I'll try a bit of stracing next...
