just to remind everyone of this: The gconf system does *not* work with 
make install DESTDIR=something. I.e. the gconf system itself claims the 
schemas files will not be installed correctly with DESTDIR-install. 
Instead, the documentation on http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ , 
section "Application developer information", explicitly states that with
package building, the packagers are expected to "disable schema 
installation during the "make install" phase" and "then in the 
post-install script, run something" else. In other words, it's not 
directly clear whether this problem should be fixed in gnucash or is 
rather a conceptual problem of gconf. Already noted in 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330203
