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

[Anthony Donegan]

I had the same problem when upgrading from jessie to stretch (systemd 
232-25) with a Cinnamon desktop.

Opening a root terminal using "gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator" (as in 
the menu) causes lots of dconf-CRITICAL error messages.

These vanish if I edit the menu item to "gksudo 
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator" and add the original user u to the sudo 
group vi "usermod -a -G sudo u".

This also seemed to fix a less critical but similar error with fuse 
complaining about a "bad mount point /run/user/1000/gvfs Permission denied".
