I have the firewall disabled, is it evtl. a problem with your firewall
settings?  gconftool-2 needs to start gconfd-2 to work and gconfd-2
needs access to the local network.

I cannot reproduce your observation , it works for me with NT4 as it
does with XP/SP2, but see above comment about my firewall settings,
try to allow gconfd-2 to access the network, though I have currently
no idea which ports it is using.
