As little as I am familiar with cygnome2 (and by building these gnome2 
libs by myself). GConf(d) has some problems with proper termination. 
Since gconfd should terminate itself after timeout period after last app 
has signed itself out. It doesn't work in cygnome2 and AFAIK it's still 
under progress.

I recall that both compiled just out-of-box with proper parameters 
without any extra magic or patching.
