That's not how I read the thread, or rather it sounded like they were saying that it's not a general solution, but it might be fine for a custom build for you. i.e. I read the thread more as emacs is "working as designed" for current libraries, desktops, etc. But if you want --without-gsettings, then perhaps you could just switch to the emacs-lucid or emacs-nox packages, they've been building --without-gsettings since 24.3+1-2. (Though I suspect you may well hit other similar problems in the long run.) Alternately, you could "apt build-dep emacs25" (or emacs-gtk if you're using sid), and "fakeroot debian/rules binary" after adjusting the debian/rules confflags to build your own gtk version --without-gsettings. Or, as I've seen suggested elsewhere, you might consider switching from the potentially fraught approach of using su, to a tramp or sudoedit based approach (since it doesn't sound like emacs upstream expects the su approach to ever necessarily avoid this kind of issue -- gsettings or not).
