applications cannot update settings

[Nasreddine]

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

Applications cannot change their settings. For instance when I change an icons position in the desktop, then I update it; the icon returns to default position. Also, when I change settings of TeXstudio and then re-start it I get only last settings, new settings are not applied.

I've applied : sudo chown [username]:[username] -R ~/.config
but the problem persists.

Release infos:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
