Description:
When I launch meld with `sudo`, `su`, `gksu` or `gksudo` I have the following output:

(meld:1666): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

(meld:1666): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_proxy_get_name_owner: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_PROXY (proxy)' failed

(meld:1666): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch --autolaunch=745b249ad9024475816761582a9ee2ca --binary-syntax --close-stderr': Child process exited with code 1

And I am not able to change the settings.
In comparison, I use geany with sudo without any problem, error or warning, and I am able to change the geany's settings.

Additional info:
* meld 3.16.4-1
* dconf 0.26.0-2
* glib2 2.50.3-1


Steps to reproduce:
sudo meld
