I would expect that the default preferences and the changed preferences
would be in the same file, not in a different file. So the defaults
must be somewhere where gnucash can find them. Where would that
'somewhere' be, and where would the changes be recorded?
I didn't answer this part.
As I wrote before gnucash uses GSettings, a part of glib. GSettings in turn
uses dconf as storage backend. The defaults are compiled in the GSettings
schema for gnucash which is typically installed in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
I don't know how and where dconf stores the changes. I never had to bother
with that.
However by asking you to make changes with dconf-editor I'm trying to
establish whether dconf itself is working correctly on your system.
It probably doesn't. If so, I do not know how to fix whatever is wrong
with it. I have never had the occasion to use it until now.
