Problems with GnuCash 2.4.7 - Snow Leopard and Lion

[angrest]

Thank you for your help. 
I was wrong in the actual version I used: I'm coming from 2.4.5, not 2.4.6 (the latter probably did not work because the auto launch issue, so I skipped it).
Checking the library folder, I do not have ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus (double checked from the command line). But I suppose my problem is dbus-related.

When I start gnu cash, I do see dbus running:

axelgrewe        536   0,0  0,0   600200    568   ??  Ss   10:01am   0:00.02 /Library/Gnucash-2.4/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --config-file /Applications/Tools/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/dbus-1/session.con

Anything else to look for?

Axel

> This has nothing to do with anything in 2.2.7. The problem is with dbus; I attempted to set up auto-launch with dbus in 2.4.6, and it didn't work reliably so I had to withdraw it in 2.4.7. The launch daemon left over from 2.4.6 is what's causing the problem.
