gobject.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some
possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP
networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a
system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for
information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to
session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include:
the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.)

meld works ok for root and normal user.
As far as I remember, the bug is not present in lenny.
