The issue is rather 'simple' to explain what is going wrong:
- User logs in; XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to /run/user/$UID/
- dconf-service starts, and 'touches' its lock rile as
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/dconf/user
- User changes to superuser with 'su'
=> XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is NOT being reset, still points to the USERS one
- gedit is being started
=> it requires dconf access, hence launches a dconf-service on the dbus;
- root's dconf-service overwrites the users lock file, with 'specific'
permission
==> BAM
