standard location for configuration data?

[Derek Atkins]

The problem here is gconf.  You need to tell gconf where to find
the gnucash schema files.  Your .deb should just run the gconf
schema installer in the post-install script, and then the user
will never see this.

I think this was recently discussed on this list (in terms of
the RPM) -- or you can look at the RPM spec file in subversion
to find the invocation.  I'm sorry I don't know if offhand.
