Bug#769889: dconf-CRITICAL: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.

[pioruns]

I just experienced this problem on Debian Jessie AMD64 with MATE.
mate-panel process devoured 16GB of RAM and 15GB of swap, I had to
reboot PC from terminal.
on ~/.xsession-errors  file I found never-ending stream of error messages:
(mate-panel:1490): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create file
'/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied.  dconf will not work
properly.

I applied chmod:
chmod u+rx /run/user/1000/gvfs

Result of command you asked (after chmod):
pioruns at debian-desktop:~$ ls -l /run/user/1000/dconf/user
-rw------- 1 pioruns pioruns 2 Nov 13 22:28 /run/user/1000/dconf/user

Will this chmod resolve problem, it won't back again? What is a source
of this problem?
