That probably wont help. My guess is that there is an errant entry in
GConf that is causing GnuCash to croak. You can do:
exit gnucash
gconftool-2 --shutdown
mv ~/.gconf ~/.gconf-bak
restart gnucash
This should help.. But it will also destroy ALL your gconf settings for
your whole system. If you want to only reset your GNUCASH settings you
could do:
mv ~/.gconf/apps/gnucash ~/.gconf/apps/gnucash-bak
