I've read this:
dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed
... and I have the same problem. But - I don't like the solution. I want to run a non-login root shell session, with su (not su -i); and within that session, I want to run a GNOME app (well, not really, but suppose that I do). Let's say it's gedit. How can I get such an app to not complain about this dconf business? It's running as root, it can do whatever it wants - what's the problem?
