It's probably a good idea to copy ~/.gnucash/ over as well, though as
Roberts say, it's not strictly necessary.  I'd personally leave
~/.gnome{,2}/ directories alone, which would

It sounds like you setup scheduled transactions, but never ran the
"since last run" processing to actually create the transactions.  If
you've already entered them manually instead, then you probably want to
change them all to "Ignore"; if you haven't, you probably want to leave
them in "Ready ...", review and create them.

In the GnuCash 2.x configuration, the "run since last run at gnucash
startup" option is True by default, which would trigger it as you see.
I believe it was off/False by deafult in 1.8.  So as you started up with
2.x, it used the default settings value, and ran the dialog at start-up.
