Hi Tom,

How does GC fail?  Do you do File->Open or something else?

I _do_ have a vague recollection that you have to upgrade (and open/save your 
data file!) in the following sequence: 1.8.x -> 2.0.anything -> 2.2.whatever.
But I'm happy to be corrected on that if others know differently

I am sure that you shouldn't put your data file in ~/.gnucash, though.  There 
be data-eating dragons!

HTH,
Maf.
