GnuCash 2.1.2 directions

[Wm Stewart]

The bug occurred again.  Two data points:

   a.  It appears to have gone away permanently after I allowed GnuCash to
contact an external IP (the GnuCash site?) on start-up.  It has not asked
to contact that site again, and I have not seen the error again.

   b.  I searched on the text of the bug and found it seems to also occur
with a variety of other applications:
