Hi, 1) Seems to happen with any command - unrelated to whether gconfd-2 is running or not:
$ python -c 'import os;os.popen("echo >/dev/null").readlines()' close failed: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor 2) For me, and all reporters I found, only happens in a 32 bit chroot on an amd64 kernel (2.6.26-1-amd64 here).
