Just a followup for the archives. This issue was resolved.

The problem was caused by a conflict with my ORBit2:
"undefined symbol: ORBit_c_stub_invoke".

I saw that by commenting out the gconf test in the configure
script and running gramps.

I reinstalled ORBit2 and related and the gnome-python2-gconf
worked for gramps.

I wish that the strace of "import gnome.gconf" would have
shown this. (Later, I learned that maybe ltrace would have helped.)
