You somehow managed to get root-owned files into your home directory.
In particular, the .cache/dconf/user file is rather worrying. If you
fix that with

   sudo chown -R thnov:thnov ~

it should be all fine again, and probably also fix a couple of other
misbehaviours.

Strange, I have not done anything manually to get these permissions,
AFAIK. The system is installed ~ 10 days ago and it is pretty vanilla.
If you do some Googling, there are lots of others with the same
problem.

That seems to be the case for me too:

oscar@hibbert:~$ sudo ls -la .cache/dconf/
total 20
drwx------  2 root  root  4096 mar 30 14:54 .
drwx------ 26 oscar oscar 4096 apr  4 23:43 ..
-rw-------  1 root  root     2 apr  1 06:58 user

Are you sure these are not intended to be owned by root? As far as I know there a re no (serious) issues on my system.
