That's a good point.

Looking through
<http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gconf/trunk/gconf/gconf-backend.c?revision=2371&view=markup>,
I'd have to guess that the "source_address" is the entire path to the
particular backend.  Thus, I'd guess that it's a problem anywhere in the
path, but I'm not very familiar with gconf's sources.

If that was the case, it might have been found and fixed already, though, as
everyone with any GNOME app on Windows would have encountered it. :)

As we've discussed on -devel, GnuCash itself only adds one directory.  The
libraries that GnuCash uses – the GNOME Desktop – add the others.  Of course,
From the perspective of someone only using GnuCash, it appears as you say.
