I have installed Gnucash in a subdirectory under /Applications, if that makes any difference.  All other respects of 2.6.5 are working fine for me.  If the png doesn't come through, the error message is:

Yes, it is in the same directory as Gnucash.  Oh, I bet I know what broke it, I renamed the app "Gnucash 2.6.5" while I was testing it.  I guess I haven't done that before, so it probably can't find the bin directory.

Yes, it was a typo.  My png was stripped.

Sorry for the false alarm.  I'll remember not to rename the app.
