[GNC] Problems upgrading to 4.8a

Weird, my answer got stripped from the mail as it returned from the mailing list... I'll send 
again below for reference.

The output is slightly different from mine, but that's not abnormal.


Another test would be to run
gsettings list-schemas | grep org.gnucash.general

gsettings is the interface gnucash uses to access the preferences, so contrary to dconf-editor 
this should use the same code internally as gnucash.


Does this command return the org.gnucash.general schema (together with a few others) ?


Lastly to verify if compilation was completely successful you can also run


sudo glib-compile-schemas --strict /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas


And check the result for errors. If compilation didn't result in any errors you could recheck if 
gnucash now works without the GSettings warnings in gnucash.trace.
