I didn't answer this part.

As I wrote before gnucash uses GSettings, a part of glib. GSettings in turn 
uses dconf as storage backend. The defaults are compiled in the GSettings 
schema for gnucash which is typically installed in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

I don't know how and where dconf stores the changes. I never had to bother 
with that.

However by asking you to make changes with dconf-editor I'm trying to 
establish whether dconf itself is working correctly on your system.
