I was not familiar with these bugs.

One thing is definitely true: for reading from the configuration 
settings, these bugs will not be an issue because you don't need to use 
the bus or launch the service at all for this to work.

For writing, it's really hard to say.  This seems like a wider DBus 
issue affecting all things that use it.  Depending on how those bugs are 
resolved upstream, the result will be different for dconf.  It seems, in 
general, we need to have a better-defined idea of what a session is.

I assume the reason that these bugs bother you is because GConf used to 
work properly under 'su' when it was straight-up CORBA?
