sugar-emulator crashes on startup (jhbuild)

[bernie]

Tested on Fedora 14, using jhbuild sources as of today. This may or may not be related to #2269.

After a few seconds, the emulator quits, leaving this error in shell.log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bernie/src/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/install/bin/sugar-session", line 275, in <module>

Are you sure you don't have old sources around? Such line does not exist in sugar since some releases ago:

Damn, the sugar module was being skipped from jhbuild:

*** module sugar not built due to non buildable GConf-dbus *** [8/22]
*** module meta-glucose not built due to non buildable sugar *** [9/22]
*** Installing read *** [10/22]
python setup.py install --prefix /home/bernie/src/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/install

When can we kill the f$>#@?ng GConf-dbus from the default jhbuild run? It has caused enough waste of time for its little usefulness.

After fixing this, I got to #2269.
