Am I correct in saying to fix new gyproc coving to walls (not freshly skimmed, already emulsioned), I would use a 'dry-wall' adhesive?
 
You could use dry-wall adhesive or coving adhesive, as the surface you are bonding to is painted. It would be worth scratching the paint surface to create a key for the adhesive to take to.
When fitting the coving, if you panel pin the the lower edge of coving, it will help support it, whilst drying.
 
i use knauf cove addy i find it offers the longest working life so you can happily cut and fit a fair few bits without haveing to stop and knock up more gear
