   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.

   dellbert at dellbert:~$ gsettings get org.gnucash.GnuCash.general.register
   double-line-mode
   true
   dellbert at dellbert:~$
   But when I run gnucash all of my registers are single-line.

     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.
