I have this same issue.  Its cropped up for at least three users here, 
including myself.  We are using Red Hat Linux 7.3/8.0 with OpenAFS 1.2.7.
My back end servers are Transarc AFS 3.6 on Solaris.  Looks like some
strange bug...

Currently, my only work around is to move the directories containing the
foobar'd GConf lock files so I the user can log in again.  (Then pray it
doesn't happen again.)
