Syslog paranoia

[Art Edwards]

I have had some major hard-drive problems that predate ubuntu. I think I
simply had a hard drive fail slowly, but, to be safe, I've been looking
at the syslog file. I am seeing lots of instances of the following lines.

Nov  1 12:35:32 theory gconfd (edwardsa-5133): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only
configuration source at position 0
Nov  1 12:35:32 theory gconfd (edwardsa-5133): Resolved address
"xml:readwrite:/home/edwardsa/.gconf" to a writable configuration source
at position 1
Nov  1 12:35:32 theory gconfd (edwardsa-5133): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only
configuration source at position 2
Nov  1 12:35:32 theory gconfd (edwardsa-5133): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults" to a read-only
configuration source at position 3
Nov  1 12:35:32 theory gconfd (edwardsa-5133): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/defaults" to a read-only configuration
source at position 4

Is this usual?
