This error means that the gconf key was not found, and that the schema
(the default value plus the description) for that key was not found either.

Most common cause is when the gconfd is not restarted, so that it
is not aware of a newly installed schema. Since you killed it and
it was restarted again and still the schema was not found, it seems
that something is wrong with the schemas. Maybe they failed to install
or they were installed at the wrong place.

1. Did you run 'make install' for gramps as root?
2. Were there any errors or warning during install?

3. What does this say:
   $ gconftool-2 --get-default-source

Whatever that returns -- on my system it's the
   xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
string --- should be the path for the root of gconf tree:

   $ ls /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
   apps  desktop  schemas  system

   $ ls /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gramps
   behavior  %gconf.xml  interface  paths  preferences  researcher

   $ ls /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/gramps
   behavior  %gconf.xml  interface  paths  preferences  researcher

If you don't see something similar (for your case, as returned
by 'gconftool-2 --get-default-source') then something went wrong
during installation of gramps. If you do see everything just like
the above, then something is wrong with gconf.

I would bet on the installation (non-root?)
