That sounds like the GSettings migration that comes with your upgrade is failing for some 
reason. All the issues you mention are related to preferences that are kept in GSettings.

You say you installed *over* your previous 4.6 installation. That may well be the reason. Can 
you list the files found in /home/[user]/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas ?
