Ok, in dconf you will want to look for
/org/gnucash/general/report/pdf-export/(filename-format and filename-
date-format)

Most notable path changes in dconf are:
- path now starts with /org/gnucash instead of /apps/gnucash
- underscores have become invalid characters so they are replaced with -

Note that gnucash is not installed system-wide in /usr and friends you 
must make sure that dconf can find your gnucash schema.

I believe the proper way to do so is to run
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/path/to/gnucash/install/dir/share;
${XDG_DATA_DIRS};/usr/local/share;/usr/share dconf-editor

(all in one line and properly setting the path to your gnucah's share 
directory)

Does that work ?
