It doesn't seem right. I have tried killing one or the other of the 
processes to see if it would then begin reading/storing preferences but, 
alas, no difference.

Can anyone else using Gnucash for Windows check their Task Manager 
process list while Gnucash is running and tell me whether they have one 
or two gconfd-2.exe processes running? Thanks.
