[GNC-dev] Trouble with gsettings in GC 4.9

[Geert Janssens]

Christian,

Have you also searched for org.gnucash.*.gschema.xml ?
These files are important during the installation process. If these were present (the files that 
don't have GnuCash in camelcase in their name) the installation will not work properly.
But the actual problem file in that case will be called gschemas.compiled. That's the file used 
by gsettings (not dconf) to know which preference keys should exist.

I am slightly puzzled though because the migration of settings actually already happened in 
gnucash 4.7.

Regards,

Geert
