Personally I prefer this setup.  Too many times (on other lists 
though) I've meant to reply only to the poster, and not the entire
list.  Just my personal preference here.

1.4.10 I'm assuming should be fine for you.  I discovered a bizarre 
(though not major) bug in 1.4.9 where the sorting of Months in a 
Transaction Report was completely wrong.  This led me to upgrade to 
1.4.10, which the developers thought might fix the problem.  

However, with 1.4.10, for some reason there's a misplaced exit() call 
which causes gnucash to exit if one selects Reports->Transaction
(actually, I'm the only one I know of that experienced this bug.
 Would you mind trying this, since you have 1.4.10 installed and make 
 sure it's not just me :)

This exit() bug led to the recent release of 1.4.11, which just got 
released last night.  The exit() bug is gone, however the sorting bug 
is back (don't know if ever actually left in .10, since I could never 
generate the report :(

So, if you're happy with 1.4.10, and find no major problems, you 
could probably just stick with it.  I don't know if anyone's released 
rpms for it yet.
