ORBit/GConf problem

[Joel Thibault (MacPorts)]

Sorry.  I was referring to the line

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist

Somehow I had installed dbus without it installing that file.  When I
reinstalled dbus that file was created.  My hope was that this would
somehow solve the orbit/gconf problem for me but that wasn't the case.

Good to know about gnome-desktop, thanks.
