I tested the gconf druid tonight and here are my comments/suggestions/findings:

When I start gnucash a message window comes up (Cannot find default values). The Help button is highlighted by default but there is no help when pressed (maybe I need to install documentation files separately?).

On the window titled "Choose Method" the focus sometimes disappears when cycling through the options with the TAB key.
   "Update Search Path" --> blank --> blank --> Cancel --> Back -->
      Forward --> blank --> "Update Search Path" --> ...

Everything works when the "Update Search Path" option is selected.
However, when selecting the option "I'll do it myself" on the following window the last window gives the instructions to edit the .gconf.path file and restart the gconf backend. There is no mention on how to restart the gconf backend. I suggest to list the command
  gconftool-2 --shutdown
here. Or maybe better let the user know on the previous window ("Update Path") that the gconf backend will need to be restarted if the .gconf.path file got modified. With that information users might rather want gnucash to do this for them.

When the option "Install into home directory" is selected the option
"Do it for me" on the next window fails. So does the "I'll do it myself" since the shell script
  update-gnucash-gconf
is not in the default search path.

Note:  I have gnucash installed under /opt/gnucash2

For the "I'll do it myself" option the same is true as above. The user has to restart the gconf backend without additional information on how to do this.
