Old machine
$ dconf dump /org/gnucash/ > /home/liz/gnucash-dconf
$ scp /home/liz/gnucash-dconf
liz at 192.168.xxx.xxx:/home/liz/gnucash-dconf

New machine
$ dconf load /org/gnucash/ < gnucash-dconf

Running "dpkg-reconfigure locales", not adding any and setting the
default locale was necessary to fix that.
