Description
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for smuxi. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.Message details:
Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory)
This is because smuxi is a GNOME application and the GNOME libs try to initialize gconf which is somehow not working correctly (possibly a missing file).

The dialog can be closed though and the application contains without errors as smuxi doesn't use gconf!

Looks like GNOME tries to connect to gconfd at startup. Supplying gconfd-2.exe and lib\GConf\2\libgconfbackend-xml.dll seems to fix this issue. But gconfd-2.exe needs to be spawned before starting smuxi (which is ugly, double ugly for dos window). So either I need to ship those + a startup script or convince GNOME to not use gconf at all.

postponed to 0.7 where this issue will be fixed by itself when dropping the GNOME# usage, see ticket #63

- Status changed from New to Closed
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
As the feature/#63_drop_gnome-sharp branch is now merge with master, gconfd is not needed anymore and thus this problem goes away with it! :-)
