Christian, GSettings says it uses XDG_DATA_DIRS plus /usr/share and /usr/local/share so in theory you need worry only about the gschemas.compiled in directories that are on those paths and that might have had org.gnucash.foo.schema.xml in them the last time glib-compile-schemas was run on them. OTOH you've been spinning your wheels on this for several days and the GnuCash schema files are easily generated and all schemas compiled as part of building GnuCash so the only thing to worry about is deleting schema files that belong to something else. If XDG_DATA_DIRS is empty then the minimum to delete would be /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled; if it isn't add any directories on it that might have had GnuCash schemas in it. For each of those you can regenerate gschemas.compiled with glib-compile-schemas --strict /path/to/schemas after clearing out any GnuCash schema files, regardless of whether they're new or old style. You want to end up with exactly one set of installed GnuCash s chemas.
