We now build Emacs with GConf as a dependency, which mostly gives annoying warnings:

# emacs
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Could not send message to gconf daemon: The name org.gnome.GConf was not provided by any .service files)

We could try to get GConf to find the .service file, or we could just drop the GConf dependency. I’m not sure that it provides anything really useful.
