You should check bugzilla, I've filled a bug with a patch about that
yesterday ;)

Seriously, in most security settings, TMPDIR is set to $HOME/tmp BUT we
patch gconf to use an alternative tmpdir which is /tmp, so the NFS
homedir is not an issue.

BTW, gconf-sanity-check-2 is in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64).
