Hi Geert

I ran
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
and could see that it updated /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemasg/schemas.compiled.
I checked XDG_DATA_DIRS and that does include /usr/share.
I rebooted just in case.
Yet still the settings are not found by gnucash and when I run dconf-editor
then again they are not there.  I have checked with a system with working
GC 3.3 to make sure I am looking in the right place in dconf-editor.
I have looked in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnucash.gschema.xml and
can see that the key definitions are there.

Very strange.
