Apologies for the long delay.  Moving to a new house has taken huge 
amounts of my time.  I have updated to rev. 13206.

I assumed that I was supposed to replace %{_sysconfdir} with 
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc.

This has stopped gnucash from prompting for the defaults at every start.

Was this supposed to create the file:
/opt/gnucash-svn13206/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
And the directory:
/opt/gnucash-svn13130/etc/gconf/apps
?
If not how are these supposed to be created?  These did not get created.

Also I noticed that my gconfd-2 did not automatically restart as I had 
assumed from your script.  Is it supposed to?
Should this use the --shutdown and --spawn options of gconftool-2?
