Bug Description
Binary package hint: gconf2
$ pgrep -l gconfd-2
$ gconftool-2 --spawn
$ pgrep -l gconfd-2
23220 gconfd-2
Great, so it's running, but...
$ gconftool-2 --ping ; echo $?
2
and since gconftool-2 can't find the running gconfd-2, trying to modify settings will instead modify the database directly.

thank you for your bug report. why do you need to run it with --spawn? gconf should be running
$ gconftool-2 --ping ; echo $?
0
