Hi,

First of all thanks for this awesome software. I've been a happy user for
the last 4 odd years. (It infact was one of the strong reasons for me to
choose Linux as my OS. Right then GNUcash was not there for windows).

Off late I upgraded from FC6 to Ubuntu 9.04. To continue tracking my
accounts, I copied over my account file from the old FC6 installation and
the opened it in GnuCash 2.2.6. Unfortuantely GnuCash seems to be choosing a
very large window size that horizontally exceeds and goes over my screen
width. The accounts page, I've only chosen two coloumns for display: Account
name, Type. But after this there is a large coloumn with no name.

I've tried minimizing, maximizing, open, close et all and none of that did
work. I've been searching archieves of this list, and I found one close
match:

The screen shot files there is exactly what I'm facing too. Just that I
wasn't dealing quicken. I'm dealing here with a file that was created by an
earlier version of GNUCash itself (the one that shipped with Fedora Core 6).
Just as mentioned in that thread, when I create a new file, things are fine.
Its only with this file that I see the problem. (I tried saving this file
and the reopening it as well, but that didn't improve things in anyway).

Would be great if someone could help me out with this. All of my financial
transaction are piling up without being entered! (Pl note: the fonts are
normal size as in ubuntu. i.e., 9. The display is large enough, with
resolution 1440x900.)

Regards,
Kumar.
