Can you check the permissions of /run/user/1000/dconf/user? My guess is that it is root owned because you've started an X application as root.

Feb 27 11:46:42 localhost tracker-extract.desktop[3603]: message repeated 2 times: [ (tracker-extract:3603): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.] Is this a tracker bug or a dconf bug? I filed this bug report - https:/ /bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dconf/+bug/1654406 on Ubuntu Launchpad back in Jan, it's been confirmed however it appears as though they've assigned it to no one for a fix. If this is a dconf but I apologize for the noise and maybe someone can let me know where I can go to see about getting it fixed.
