Actually as of gnucash 2.6 the preferences are managed via GSettings. On linux
this means the settings are stored in dconf by default. We had a few cases

Did you play with dconf-editor ? And what where the results ?

From your explanation I still can't infer this exactly, but I readily admit my

I would expect that the default preferences and the changed preferences
would be in the same file, not in a different file. So the defaults
must be somewhere where gnucash can find them
ite should have the details of where this is stored.
