Interesting, but for some reason, it doesn't work here:

[root@jsb ~]# su - gdm -s /bin/bash
[gdm@jsb ~]$ dbus-launch
No protocol specified
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-E0KGyrWdmW,guid=3cf6777db11be77ed1241647000001c5
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=2774
[gdm@jsb ~]$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-E0KGyrWdmW,guid=3cf6777db11be77ed1241647000001c5
[gdm@jsb ~]$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=2774
[gdm@jsb ~]$ /usr/lib/dconf/dconf-service &
[1] 2775
[gdm@jsb ~]$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri
'file:///usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/stripes.jpg'
[gdm@jsb ~]$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/others/bluecap-bg.jpg"
[gdm@jsb ~]$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri
'file:///usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/stripes.jpg'
[gdm@jsb ~]$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds
true
[gdm@jsb ~]$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false
[gdm@jsb ~]$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds
true
[gdm@jsb ~]$ 

I _really_ want to get rid of this annoying sound on gdm login!

after su - gdm -s /bin/bash check who owns the directory ~/.config

It's owned by root; i guess that's why it doesn't work.

[gdm@jsb ~]$ la
