Upstream-Status: Pending In some circumstances, gconf isn't able to save configurations because ~/.config folder aka root_dir doesn't exist. This issue was not seen before because ~/.config directory is shared between several packages and one of those packages usually creates it by the time gconf wants to use it. This patch makes sure that gconf creates the .config directory if it doesn't exist, along with the gconf directory inside it.
