Yes, and read-only access requires no locking. Those settings should only be changed by the system control panel, not by random apps.

That opens another can of worms: What is system control panel: is that gnome control center? Or command line dconf tools? Or is that dconf-editor? Or one of the myriad tweak utilities?

Cut off one of these and brace for the whining, that gnome is dumbing everything down and locking up your settings.
