I'm not convinced it is libpam-systemd which is responsible here.

In all cases I read so far, the user was using gksu or su "without -".
So the environment is not cleared and the
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment still points to the one from the calling user.

As soon as a dconf-using program is started, this will change the
permissions of the dconf db (as expected).

The user should use "su -" and gksu should make sure to clear the
environment.

Afaics, there is not to fix on the libpam-systemd/systemd side here.

Regards,
Michael
