Ok, I just followed your steps to reproduce on a clean Jessie
installation and I couldn't actually reproduce it. The file
/run/user/1000/dconf/user keeps the ownership of the original,
non-root owner.

On the other hand, I fully agree with Lennart's statement
here [1]. Modern desktop applications aren't really designed
anymore to run in an "su -" environment since there are too
many other interdependencies like dbus that cannot dynamically
change the session.

I really wouldn't advise running any desktop applications
using "su -" for that matter.
