It looks like dbus is running:

richard at deodand:~$ ps -ef |grep dbus
103        906     1  0 Aug02 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon 
--system
richard  23759 23744  0 20:05 pts/0    00:00:00 grep dbus

gconf doesn't seem to take unreasonably long, using an example from the 
man page:

richard at deodand:~$ time gconftool-2 --get 
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background

real	0m0.125s
user	0m0.104s
sys	0m0.020s

...but strace indicates that command just reads files rather than doing 
any IPC, so I could be checking in the wrong way.
