I'd suggest, in the spirit of checking it off your list, running GnuCash
as an admin user and determining if the preference changes you make are
saved. Windows XP almost expects (almost...) everything to run as admin
- I had to change a user at a client's today as the Symantec Live Update
utility wouldn't run as a non-privileged user.

I haven't tried GC on XP yet, but will likely do so when my daughter
gets her business up and running over the next week or two. I'll report
back on anything I come across that might help here.
