No, I don't agree. I can reproduce it 100% in MATE desktop environment and
also in Cinnamon, see [1]. I'm actually thinking of merging that bug report with
this one.

Please read the comments from Linas Vepstas there, they confirm that it's not
a desktop environment or a text editor itself that causes it. Also, systemd had
been messing up the ownership of /run/user/1000/dconf/user in the past, see [2].
