I read this post that suggested this try:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166240

------------------

now I investigate better the problem and I cat think my problem is a knew bug:
Bug 956306 - gnome shell freezes when window is present from su session
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956306

Bug 975521 - unable to change settings using dconf
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975521

-----------------

But in the while I got another problem:

I tried to re install dconf-edit ...

I did it because I found a more recent version...  dconf-editor-0.15.0-4mgc30.x86_64.rpm

So I removed the old version but I was not able to install the new..

This is the output that I got:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

----------------------------------

In this way now I have another problem because I am newbie and I am not able to manage the problem

to resolve the dependencies for the re installation of a new version of dcond-edit ...

What you can suggest me to do ?

still thank you

Regards

Angelo

What makes you think you need execute permission on that file?
It's a database storage file.
