Comment:

 As diagnosed on the mailing list, the issue is as follows:

 1. sugar-jhbuild is expected to use the system-supplied gconf python
 wrapper with the gconf library built by sugar-jhbuild.
 2. sugar-jhbuild set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing the
 gconf-library built by sugar-jhbuild.
 3. Ubuntu python-gconf contains an rpath setting, causing the dynamic
 linker to search /usr/lib before LB_LIBRARY_PATH.
 4. As /usr/lib contains the system-supplied gconf library, it will get
 used instead of the one built by sugar-jhbuild.
 5. sugar won't work with the system-supplied gconf library.
