Greg:
Ye, that is the case: the ~/.config/dconf/user file gets modified.
If so, then definitely you wouldn't want to use sudo. Using sudo like
in the first message would be trying to modify the root user's
configuration.
Most things on Linux are configured for the user who's logged in. Few
things are configured for the whole computer. If a person uses sudo or
"su -" to modify a setting, quite often they'll end up modifying the
root user's configuration, not the system.
