That's really bizarre. Gnucash hasn't used /opt/gnucash-2.3.x since 2.3.8, over a year ago, and I don't think that GConf has used .gconf.path in quite a while, either.  The 2.4.3 I just launched didn't seem to need either (meaning that I deleted the ancient remnants of both and launched Gnucash-2.4.3 and it started up with the last accounts file I had had open and appeared to have my preferences set correctly. When I quit Gnucash, neither ~/.gconf.path and /opt existed. 

Try deleting .gconf.path
