BUG: .gnucash, permissions, crash

[Tripp Lilley]

I didn't see anything on the "Hacking GnuCash" page about an issue
tracker, so I assume I'm supposed to post issues / bugs here. If that's
incorrect, please let me know where to post them. 

I'm working against a CVS drop from some time last night, and encountered
this bug. When a user's .gnucash directory exists, but is not writable by
the user, selecting "File->New" causes GnuCash to unceremoniously exit
with this error:

/usr/share/gnucash/scm/main-window.scm:127:45: In procedure mkdir in
expression (mkdir dotgnucash-dir 448):
/usr/share/gnucash/scm/main-window.scm:127:45: File exists

It also happens when I choose the "create new accounts" option on the
initial new user dialog.

I'd post a patch, but I'm not yet conversant enough with the source :)
