IIRC, g-t-t just sets this key to true, so the above command (as the user wanting to change it) should revert it.
It ended up with an error. I login as root. Then from gterm I did "su toshi". The put the command below.
I *believe* this won't work because you did a su and the user in question does not have a session.
When I run that command at me it exits silently.

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 -.
