I don't think it wouldn't work. It merely isn't there. So it's no good for me in the present circumstances.

I would assume this is because Dconf is part of Gnome, ya? And Xubuntu uses xfce, hmmokay? This seemed like a reasonable explanation to me because, e.g.:

"
# man dconf
No manual entry for dconf
"
