Launching an emacs built with gconf support as root via "su" (not "su

# emacs -Q
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed
to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken.)
Is this the expected behavior?
I think it is. It is a GConf limitation/bug. su followed by for example
gedit or gnome-help gives the same error. A bug report to GConf might be in
order.
