I am having the same problem on a different system.
I am using Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca", MATE Edition (a derivative of Ubuntu
14.04).
In MATE (a Gnome 2 fork), gedit has been renamed to pluma.
Specifically, just starting up
sudo pluma
makes the ownership of ~/.config/dconf/user immediately change from
myusername.myusername to root.root.
This is a horrible bug! When I reboot much later, my user preferences all
appear to be toast. No panel, no background, no keyboard remapping ... And
it's hardly obvious why or how to fix it. It's very hard to track down that it
boils down to permissions on a mysterious, hidden file that I never even
touched!
Is this the right place to report the bug? I found this ticket by searching
the web for .config/dconf/user permissions.
