Running gsettings as root

Hello,

I want to do lots of configuration settings as root in the background

I know, I can do this with


   sudo -u $USER dbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings set [ .... ]


This works fine while the user is NOT logged in.

But it won't work if the user IS logged in.

I need a command that works independently of whether the user is logged in or
not.

Any suggestions?
