Bug#732209: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied

[Miklos Quartus]

Package: libpam-systemd
Version: 232-25
Followup-For: Bug #732209

Hello 

I am also using Debian Stretch on Cinnamon desktop and the problem
seems to be gone.  I am no longer getting strange messages in syslog
neither the annoying X desktop lock-up.  Interestingly, when I do "gksu
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator", I get a segfault (you read it right,
on Debian stable!):

"
2017-07-03T20:16:24.930235+02:00 qmitoshiba kernel: [14358.860790] gnome-terminal-[4335]: segfault at 8 ip 0000560f0872ccb7 sp 00007ffca2a0f540 error 4 in gnome-terminal-server[560f08718000+4c000]
"

Still, I am able to spin-up a new gnome terminal nonetheless. The bug
displayed above is less of an issue, as it is not a blocker to your
daily routine having to restart your X desktop session like it used to.
So, thankfully, the original issue looks like to be gone. Just
in case anyone did not notice, the x-terminal-emulator is a
gnome-terminal.wrapper Perl script (which in turn runs gnome-terminal)
by default:

"
root at qmitoshiba:~# update-alternatives --display x-terminal-emulator
x-terminal-emulator - auto mode
  link best version is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
  link currently points to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
  link x-terminal-emulator is /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
  slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/x-terminal-emulator.1.gz
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper - priority 40
  slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz
root at qmitoshiba:~# ls -l /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1394 Jun 16  2011 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
root at qmitoshiba:~# dpkg -S !$
dpkg -S /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
gnome-terminal: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
root at qmitoshiba:~# file /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper: Perl script text executable
root at qmitoshiba:~# 
"

After others confirm the same behaviour including on sid, we can close
this bug and open a new one against the gnome-terminal.
