Even if > someone told me where my old icons, etc are gone... I'm not sure why you're seeing this error. I have never seen it on any of the three machines on which I've installed GNOME 2.0. I looked at my /usr/X11R6/etc/gconf/2/path file, and it does reference a readonly XML source of /usr/X11R6/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory. This directory does exist, and has permissions 0755 owned by root:wheel. The only file in the directory is the .keep_me file from gnomehier. You might also want to check that each parent directory has permissions allowing you to read and search directories. I'm also not sure why your settings are gone. All local settings should be stored in ~/.gconf and ~/.gconf2. Make sure those directories grant you read-write access, and that all files are owned by your user id.
