have no idea how dconf manages its internal database unfortunately. It's tied
into dbus but that's a black box for me.
You can dump the the contents via dconf or GSettings tools and then import this
on the new machine.

Nope, no such directory

When you do the import, you get to assign the existing expense accounts.
GnuCash won't create new accounts if you do this.
Note, do not try to import hundreds or thousands of transactions in one
go. The matcher needs to be trained, so it is advisable to usually

A transfer between two asset accounts (your account to your wife's) doesn't
need any further entries, unless you're considering these transfers as some
kind of bookable event. Are you paying them, or just transferring them funds?
If the latter, then just two entries crediting/debiting the two as

This is the same case as reimbursement tracking. (covered in the Wiki -

I would simply create two asset accounts, one for your wife and your son
each.
When you give them money, you would credit your bank/cash-on-hand
account,
In that case, you would probably be better served with two books, one
for yourself and your wife.
In each of those books, you'd have some sort of 'family assets' account
as a source of funds, that each of you might independently add money to
before spending it. Either of you could then run rep

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.
No smackdown intended. You really need to understand basic accounting in order
to use GnuCash effectively, and thinking that accounts in GnuCash are somehow
equivalent to Quicken's categories is a common mistake for those new to
GnuCash.
