Can you set the preference value to 0, open the Cash account (showing no
transactions) and close GnuCash again. And afterwards, locate the
gnucash.trace file in your /tmp directory and send it to the list ?

I'm not sure I get this right: you copied the gnucash program from one
distribution to another ? That's asking for trouble. I don't know Puppy Linux
and don't know exactly how software is installed on it. But in general - and
I'm pretty sure this goes for Puppy as well - you should either install
GnuCash from your distribution's software repository or build it yourself on
the machine that will run it (or at least a machine with the same version of
your distribution).
The fact that you had to replace libraries and update softlinks yourself is a
good sign that the gnucash you copied over is not compatible with Puppy. In
that case anything can happen, including the odd behaviour you mention here.
