[GNC-dev] Trouble with gsettings in GC 4.9

[Christian Wehling]

Hi John, Geert,
It works, thanks for your help!

What have I done?
1. emptied all old, not needed build directories and uninstalled the old flatpak version.
2. removed all org.gnucash.*.gschema.xml and gschemas.compiled from /usr/local/share/glib-
2.0/schemas/ 
3. deleted $HOME/.cache/dconf
4. install GnuCash 4.9 again

Regards and a happy new year,
Christian
