I'd guess that confusion between the libraries installed in /usr/local/ and
/usr/ is part of the problem.

As a Gentoo user, I'd recommend:

1/ using quickpkg to bundle up a binary of your 2.0.5 install.

2/ using the 2.1.x ebuild mentioned at
   <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Gentoo#via_Portage> to build 2.1.3 "normally".

3/ maybe using quickpkg to bundle up 2.1.3 if you want to bounce back and
   forth.

4/ using emerge -k to quickly switch between 2.0.5 and 2.1.3

Alternatively, don't manually build into /usr/local/, but instead
/opt/gnucash-unstable/ or something; that's been shown to work better than
/usr/local/.

(Note that I had the 1.9.x ebuild into /opt/${P}, specifically so that the
"stable" install in /usr/ wouldn't be affected.  This was more trouble than
it was worth, given that quickpkg exists. :)

As for using the root user (vs. a normal user account) to sandbox ~/.gnucash/
... well ... that's the case either way, I suppose.

The 'log.ger.path' is intended to be replaced by the name of a specific
logger that you want to control (like "gnc.engine" or "gnc.gui.dense-cal" or
something).  If you just generally want more info, use '--debug' instead.
