Launching an emacs built with gconf support as root via "su" (not "su -"), produces this error:

See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) Is this the expected behavior?
