error with /run/user/1000/dconf

[Michael D. Setzer II]

In using gedit from command line, I will see these errors?

(gedit:18414): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create directory 
'/run/user/1000/dconf': Permission denied.  dconf will not work properly.

The directory actually does not exist, but there are other /urn/user directories.

If I ssh into the machine using the user id, then the /run/user/1000 directory 
and subdirectories are created, and then using gedit does not issue the 
errors?

Question:
1. Why isn't the /run/user/1000 directory created with a login (actually 
connected via VNC)
2. Why does an ssh login create it, but not the vnc session?

How are you starting the VNC server?  If you aren't running through a 
display manager, you probably aren't going through the login process.

Have the session started thru the rc.local at startup

runuser -l msetzerii -c 'vncserver :xx -geometry 1280x1024'

So, not sure why that wouldn't create a login session to run the vnc??
Been running thru many version of linux going back to Redhat 9, and now 
thru to Fedora 27. Didn't notice error messages before 27, so not sure if they 
were there before. You don't see the messages if you run gedit from the 
menus, but from the command line, they pop up.

Without the login, the directory doesn't exist.
With login.

tmpfs             758388         4    758384   1% /run/user/1000
# find .
.
./dconf
./dconf/user
./bus
./systemd
./systemd/private
./systemd/notify
./systemd/transient

So, not sure if errors are not important, or if setting up an ssh startup process 
would be a solution. The machine doesn't have a monitor, so just vnc into it.
