I do not know : I was not even aware that kde was using dconf.

 From what I could see, it seems that kded5 starts dconf-service at end 
of session, I presume to save some settings (but which one s ?) and 
something fails

would it help to remove the ~/.config/dconf/user file when kde is not 
running ? The /etc/dconf/db directory is empty.

I do not understand what dconf-editor shows me.


SHould I file a bug report to dconf-service or kded5 ?
