[Gllug] GConfd

[Sanatan Rai]

Hi all,
   I notice that gconfd starts up on my machine even when I am not
running anything using GNOME.

  Strangely, the processed is owned by my userid but its PPID is init,
this really seems strange.

  Any ideas?

System info:

Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (mostly stable with some packages from testing)
Kernel 2.6.32-5-686

pstree output:
