I think I am making a mistake and loading a database that is mean to universal settings and not to a user particular settings. The game is afoot
$ pwd /home/todd/.config/dconf

<hordes of stuff>
Seems to me if the default database was ~/.config/dconf/user There should have been some complaining
I am reading $ man 7 dconf
and I am not making out how to tell dconf to read ~/.config/dconf/user
And idea what I am missing?
It dumps *everything*, including defaults and global settings. The stuff in user is an override. See /etc/dconf/profile/user
That matches "man 7 dconf" and explains it:
$ cat /etc/dconf/profile/user user-db:user system-db:local system-db:site system-db:distro
How do I do a dump of only "~/.config/dconf/user"?
