The only explanation I can come up with is that gnucash runs in a different environment 
than gsettings.

How do you start gnucash exactly ? From the command line or from the Ubuntu menus ?

And to test for the most relevant environment variable wrt to settings, can you add create a 
file named "config-user.scm" in $HOME/.config/gnucash
with this contents:
(use-modules (gnucash utilities)) 
(gnc:warn "XDG__DATA_DIRS=" (getenv "XDG_DATA_DIRS"))

The next time you run gnucash this will add a line at the top of your gnucash.trace file 
showing the value of environment variable "XDG_DATA_DIRS".

I'd like to know what this is. And can you compare it to what XDG_DATA_DIRS is set to in your 
terminal ?

Regards,

Geert
