I am using GnuCash under windows.
As I have just finished my most recent accounts and have a bit of time,
and have also been tinkering with Ubuntu, I would be interested in
trying out your patch. However, as a linux newbie I am not too sure how.
Are you able to point me to a simple guide that shows how to apply a
patch and install a patched GnuCash.
