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

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

This likely means for some reason the preference migration hasn't run.

I'd like to figure out why if you're willing to work with me on debugging 
this. If so, please file a bug so we can track our research there.

Regards,

Geert
