gconfd error after upgrading to GNOME 2.16

[Jiawei Ye]

I get these in my /var/log/messages after upgrading to 2.16. Also, the
theme manager does not start in the control center. I have tried
removing all gnome related settings in my home directory without
success of curing the problem.

Oct 19 09:53:56 sh-mail gconfd (leafy-72089):
�M-^D��M-^U寫�M-^E��M-^@M-^\/home/leafy/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/workspace_switcher/prefs/%gconf.xml�M-^@M-^]�M-^Z�M-^D��M-^U�M-^VM-^K�M-^UM-^_
