   This is probably the core of your problem. For some reason gnucash
   can't find the schema definitions for our preferences. If I remember
   correctly in most cases this is because it finds another location with
   the old schemas (starting with org.gnucash and no extra .GnuCash in the
   path). The most common candidate for this would be in
   /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

   Can you search your system for other such files ?

   Regards,

   Geert

   i repeated the search using "sudo find /  -xdev -name
   org.gnucash.\*.gschema.xml" and got the same list as appears below this
   comment. I then copied all of the org.gnucash files from
   /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas to /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schema,
   deleted /tmp/gnucash.trace (just to be sure), ran gnucash, and looked
   at the new trace file. Same story. So I looked in the package manager's
   record of files that were originally installed. That list exactly
   matches the results of the "find" operation below.

   I extracted from the trace files all of the lines containing "Ignoring
   attempt to access unknown gsettings schema" and eliminated the
   duplicates.  Here are the missing schemas:

   Should these have been created by GNC post-installation?
