I suspect that may means that dbus-x11 is not installed.
Indeed. On receipt of your email I immediately installed dbus-x11. It added two more directories to my home directory. ./dbus and ./config/dconf. (Is ~./conf now obsolete?) I did not have to reboot in order to use dbus-x11.
I opened in a terminal dconf-editor, and no longer receive the error messages quoted in paragraph (c) above. To change the value of any variable from the default, turn off the default and select the new value. To save it hit the green box with a white √ in it located it the lower right corner of the window.
In short, thanks to you in particular I now have a working gnucash. I owe you a beer, in fact several. I also owe Adrien and Geert a beer or two as well.
I still have however a few observations/questions about dconf, etc., which I want to send to the three of you in due course after I complete my researches on the subject.
