Weird.  Seems Mozilla will try to use gconf2 if found (this is neither a
compile-time nor runtime dependency).  However, all of the GConf methods
are unimplemented.  The gconf hang problem may be related to the recent
reentrant resolver patches so rebuilding devel/gconf2 should fix the
problem.  Another solution would be to set

user_pref("accessibility.unix.gconf2.shared-library", "xxx_goaway");

in your Mozilla prefs.js file.  This will stop Mozilla from loading
gconfd in the future.  The final solution would be to remove gconf2 from
your system.  Though this may be required by other ports.
