[GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

[David Carlson]

Sorry,  from what I could easily see on my smartphone it appeared that
Brian's problem was unrelated to the problem described in
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798330 and that it shouldn't be
hijacking that bug report.  Now I see a different bug report number, so
maybe it's ok.
