Thanks, John.

As I said in my original post, the setup/first run of Gnucash did not 
create ~/.gconf. I also said that I had created a ~/.gconf manually with 
0700 permissions and that that did not help with the problem. The 
permissions on the ~/.gconfd that was created by the Gnucash setup/first 
run (or something) were correct:

Cambyses:~ prl$ ls -ld .gconf .gconfd
drwx------  2 prl  admin   68 31 Jul 12:46 .gconf
drwx------  3 prl  admin  102  2 Aug 21:02 .gconfd
Cambyses:~ prl$

Yes, dbus-daemon is started by Gnucash:

Cambyses:~ prl$ ps ax | grep dbus
   734   ??  Ss     0:00.00 /Library/Gnucash-2.4/bin/dbus-daemon --fork 
--print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --config-file 
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/dbus-1/session.conf
   754 s000  U+     0:00.00 grep dbus
Cambyses:~ prl$

Thanks again,
Peter
