GSettings / DConf settings not saved permanently

Question

I have a problem with GSettings /Dconf on my Centos 7 + Gnome Classic box.

I'd like to turn the desktop animations off with the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false

Everything works like a charm, but the value is being reverted to true on next login.

Same stuff goes for visual dconf-editor. Can't find any clue in the logs.

I've tried to delete ~/.config/dconf/user file. No luck. The same stuff happens to the newly created user account.

Any suggestion how to debug?

This is a known bug in gnome < 3.12, see bug report #705448 and bug report #694692. — don_crissti, Commented Feb 16, 2015 at 13:20

Workaround for GNOME earlier than 3.11 (e.g. GNOME 3.8 in Ubuntu 14.04):

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.remote-display active false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
