Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
font-manager could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it embeds @abs_top_srcdir@ [1] into the final executable
when attempting (presumably at runtime?) to load GConf settings:

As this is not going to work at runtime, I have attached a patch that
removes the reference to @abs_top_srcdir@. I am assuming this will
have no effect on build-time tests so you may wish to check this.
