Andreas already pointed you to
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161209>; the GNOME team is aware
of the problem.

(Mike, you really don't need to reiterate all this stuff in every email you
send.)

We'll definitely add something to the 2.2.1 release notes, and if someone
gets the desire, they'll add code (or contribute a patch) to display a dialog
as you suggest during startup.

If you want a more formal way to track the status of those changes, please
file a bug at <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash>.  In
fact, that probably should be done anyways.
