The key file to transfer is your datafile, which will be named in the title
bar of the main window.

As well, you can safely copy ~/.gnucash to your new home directory (if
necessary).

There are some other gconf-based settings, but it's probably not worth the
trouble.  Just go through Edit > Preferences once you're using the new
environment, and realize that you might get prompted for some dialogs you've
already indicated that you don't care to see in the future.
