Supplementary documentation on this issue: http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/help/first-time.html http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/src/gnome-utils/druid-gconf-setup.c#L90 removing .gconf.path seems unbreaks the gconf setup, and gnucash runs just fine without that file present, The problem is that we can't seem to figure out how gnucash got it into its head that making that setup was necessary. Let's see if we can get an initial gnucash startup to fail again like this and understand WHY it did this. The two commands: rm -rf ~/gnucash gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/gnucash clears out all the identifiable gnucash state, but does NOT provoke it into a setup dialog that asks if the Gnome Path can be set.
