I have discovered that I do not have a file ~/.config/dconf. Perhaps the

Well since the proposed fix was to delete it and let dconf recreate it then
no.  It should have been created automatically.  What does
ps -aux|grep dconf
show?  I suspect it will show that dconf-service is not running.

It returns the line

"ken  5074  0.0  0.0  14004   964 pts/2    S+   17:45   0:00 grep dconf"

Also can you reboot then run
cat /var/log/syslog | grep dconf
to see if there are any dconf messages in the log

"sudo cat /var/log/syslog|grep dconf" returns nothing.

and
ls -al ~/|grep \\.config
to check the ownership and settings on .config

I am not sure what you are looking for with this command, but it simply returns the following line:
"4.0K drwx------  9 ken  users 4.0K Jul 22 11:17 .config/"

If what you are looking for in a list of the directories and files in ~/.config, here it is.

total 48K
