I use LXDE and Atril preference saving works for me. When I do that the
file ~/.config/dconf/user changes. Searching the web leads to 'dconf is
a low-level configuration system and settings management'
Digging further, one of Atrils dependencies is dconf-gsettings-backend
[1] which at a guess requires dconf-service and dbus running. Perhaps
you don't have those if you don't have any desktop environment
installed?
