Oops that's not good. The memory backend is not what you want. I don't know how to change 
this though. This should be a system level thing.

I just remembered I have already installed Fedora 20 64bit on a spare laptop. I have just fired 
it up, ran updates and started gnucash. For me the preferences work fine.

Normally the gsettings backend on linux should be dbus. Do you have that package installed ?

And what is the contents of /usr/lib64/gio/modules ?
