I have used tabby in the past on kali but cant remember how I made it work. Also afaik gconf2 is outdated and I don't think Debian ships it anymore. I could be wrong though.

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 24.04. gconf2 is not available since 23.10. I suspect this problem will become more common, with the new LTS out.
