gconfd Errors in /var/log/messages

[Rich Shepard]

   Since I don't run Gnome, just Xfce, I'd appreciate someone explaining why
I see the following errors in /var/log/messages, and what I should do to
eliminate the problems:

messages.1:Jun 29 06:24:16 salmo gconfd (rshepard-18651): starting (version 2.16.0), pid 18651 user 'rshepard'

   I get these almost every day.

Thanks,

Rich
