I installed version  2.3.8 today partly because I wanted to test MySQL support 
and partly to test the  properties change issue.  I was/am using Fedora's 
2.2.9 release installed via yum.  I have had problems previously with 
conflicting libraries (specifically libGTK regarding gnuplot and audacity), but 
this was fixed by manually removing libraries then using yum to re-install.  I 
guess it's possible that there may be conflicting libraries in /usr/local/lib, 
although the yum install shouldn't be using these at all.   I will check 
further and let you know what happens, but since no one else seems to have 
this issue, I guess it's a problem particular to my machine so there may be 
other library conflicts too.  I'm thinking it's likely to be my 'fault' rather 
a gnucash bug in that case.  Strange though that Owain has a similar issue 
with a different distro.
