The GnuCash schemas are in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas along with a bunch of other app's schemas. Other apps don't seem to have an issue when I have the gedit-plugin-markdown_preview installed.
Take, for example, Yelp, the GNOME help viewer, which has a /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.yelp.gschema.xml. It loads up fine when gedit-plugin-markdown_preview is installed and ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled exists. 1️⃣ If I remove /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled, then Yelp throws a GLib-GIO-ERROR and won't start. but GnuCash still starts, just doesn't load any preferences. 2️⃣ If I copy /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.yelp.gschema.xml to ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ and recompile the schemas, Yelp will start up again. 3️⃣ If I remove ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled, then Yelp throws a GLib-GIO-ERROR again, while GnuCash still starts, just doesn't load any preferences (since /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled is still missing). 4️⃣ Finally, when I restore /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled, GnuCash starts as expected, loading my last book and preferences. However, gedit fails to start (since ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled is still missing). 🔄 As a workaround, I can link /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnucash.GnuCash.* to ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas and recompile the schemas. Then everything plays nice together. It shows that Yelp can look in both ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas and /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas without any problem, but if GnuCash looks in ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas and can't find what it's looking for, it just fails. I guess it is a bug in GnuCash then? Is it something I should report upstream or do you do that?
