I guess the problem is starting up gconfd-2. It fails if there is a stale /tmp/gconfd-USER directory with files in it, look into /tmp if there is a directory gconfd-USERNAME and if so remove it and try to run the postinstall script again. You may need to shutdown any running gconfd-2 instances to do so. Probably the same reason why gnomevfs-ls hangs for you, the tools are just sitting there and waiting until gconfd-2 is ready.
