Comment (by cypherpunks):

 dconf has a partial client/server architecture. It uses D-Bus. '''The
 server is only involved in writes''' (and is not activated in the user
 session until the user modifies a preference).

 A "user-db" line specifies a user database. These databases are found in
 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dconf/. The name of the file to open in that directory is
 exactly as it is written in the profile. This file is expected to be in
 the binary dconf database format. '''Note that XDG_CONFIG_HOME cannot be
 set/modified per terminal or session, because then the writer and reader
 would be working on different DBs''' (the writer is started by DBus and
 cannot see that variable).


 We can isolate Tor Browser from dconf-service:
         {{{
         export GSETTINGS_BACKEND=memory
         }}}
