You should file a bug with your distro's packager; Doing gconf schema
installation during package installation should be a well-solved step for
gconf-using packages.

In the mean time, assuming that /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnucash/
exists, make sure you ~/.gconf.path looks something like:

    xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf
    xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults

And run `gconftool-2 --shutdown` to restart the daemon.
