Uh, oh, we had a high of +11 celsius.  (51 degrees N lattitude).

find /etc/gconf  -name \*gnucash\*
My system produced:
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnucash
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/gnucash

I changed to the first directory and found (amongst many others):
drwxr-xr-x   6 root root 4096 Feb 12 07:47 gnucash/

The date indicates that this was created when I did the "make install 
DESTDIR=`pwd`/tmp".  (Maybe,  there is an 8-hour discrepancy between the 
time of this directory and the make install tree.  I am doing another 
build to investigatet....)

Clearly, we've found something broken with the DESTDIR part.

The second command:
find /opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc -name \*gnucash\*
produced:
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_history.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_common.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_commodities.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_prices.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_print_checks.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_reconcile.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_totd.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_general.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_warnings.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_window_pages_account_tree.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_window_pages_register.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_import_generic_matcher.schemas
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_gnucash_dialog_business_common.schemas
which looks reasonable to me.  These files have a date (I believe) is 
constistent with the last time I installed a package.  I confirmed this 
by examining the package contents.

On my system, it caused the daemon to exit.  I did a little reading, and 
expected to see a restart of the daemon.  It had to be manually restarted.

Today, I'm going to do one more build (and svn update) to get a better 
handle on the DESTDIR problem found above, and file a bugzilla report.

At least, I know I can patch my packages by copying the appropriate files.
