Comment 15 for bug 1576308

Right, sorry for the confusing. the dbus access to the dconf service and the xdgruntime are working as they should, what is confusing the gsettings client is that the database is not in the standard ~/.config.

Ideally we would bindmount the host ~/.config/dconf/user to the snap private location but until we get
bindmount interfaces we can probably get away by giving access to the real userdir and creating a symlink in the launcher script.
