You should only have to copy over and open your one main file.  I've
been using the same file for several different versions (and distros)
with no problems (I always have backups of course).

The .gnucash directory is not necessary, although I think that you will
lose any custom reports or configuration.

How much time has elapsed?  Might it think that it is time for all of
these?  This info is in you main file BTW, not in .gnucash.
