Updated Gnucash doesn't handle preferences

[Pete Crite]

Thanks Ryan. I must have been looking at some different instructions  
that Google picked up. The wiki instructions are excellent: very clear  
and simple.

I can now also confirm that moving from gconf @2.24.0_0 back to  gconf  
@2.22.0_0 solves the problem. I've opened a ticket at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=555187 
  , but left the macports one, just in case the bug is actually  
unrelated to gconf.

Cheers.
