The reason for the failure is that su only gives the authority of the user you su to. You need to su - to also have the environment of the user you su to. The "assertion failure" means you do not have authority to write to the config file in root's home when you simply su instead of su -. Check man su for more info.
Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't know the difference '-' makes. When I did "su - toshi", the shell took: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false without any errors. However, when I did below to verify the change: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons it gave me "true". Apparently it ignored the "set" command.
