I applied your patch below, and everything works great for me. It seems
this is because I am running GNOME, and GNOME puts the dconf service
file in the system profile.
What desktop are you running? How is D-Bus started?
A handy tool to peek at D-Bus is D-Feet.

You could drop the last part after “other information”, or change it to
something like “which makes Grisbi appropriate for associations.”

If you don’t mind, please send an updated patch generated using “git
format-patch” as an attachment (this makes it easier to apply the patch
while preserving you as the author). When you do so, don’t forget to
add your name to the top of the file with the other copyright notices.
Since the package works for me, I think we can include it now regardless
of your D-Bus problems. If it turns out there’s some problem with the
package, we can always fix it!
