I just added XOM to the commodities list, created an account for XOM,  
and told the account properties dialog I wanted to get quotes for  
XOM. Then I went the the Price Editor tool and told Gnucash to Get  
Quotes. XOM came through fine.

If you don't get an error message after you click Get Quotes in the  
price editor, then the price tool probably doesn't think it is  
supposed to be looking for quotes for the symbol that is missing.

I'm using gnucash 1.8.11 and finance::quote 1.08 (+plus a few TIAA- 
CREF tweaks). F::Q 1.11 was just released, so mine is pretty old.
