For anyone, like me, who is naive enough to think that it's possible to set XDG_CACHE_HOME or DCONF_PROFILE to values other than the default, note that this fix _only_ allows access to the "user" profile. If you rename your user profile, you cannot use any apparmor-enabled application that uses dconf. I know there's nothing to be done about this, but I'm leaving this comment here lest anyone else encounter this situation.
