Bug#630793: d-conf: unable to set mandatory settings

[Jeremy Bicha]

Subject: d-conf: unable to set mandatory settings
Package: d-conf
Version: 0.7.5-2
Severity: important

According to the bottom of https://live.gnome.org/dconf/SystemAdministrators,
it should be possible for system administrators to lock down individual
dconf
settings to prevent users from modifying them. For instance, I was trying
to make it impossible for users to change their wallpaper, which is in fact
the
example given on the wiki page. This doesn't appear to work on Debian.

For one thing, the /etc/dconf/db/ directory doesn't exist so the command
'sudo
dconf update' result in
'fatal: Error opening directory '/etc/dconf/db': No such file or directory'

I therefore couldn't figure out where the locks directory is supposed to be.
