That's my fault. In chapter06 the tutorial documentation tells you that 
the examaple requires GConf 2.0. Most distributions install GConf 2.0 so 
it should not be a problem. However, I overlooked the fact that 
chapter04 also uses GConf. I'll fix the chapter04 instructions for 
writing the Makefile. Try adding gconf-2.0 to pkg-config instead of 
gconf'... that should work.
