I'm glad you got it working ok.  I gather you were trying to use the 
Aqua version on the Mac.  I think that you would find it works better 
if you use the X11 version there like you are on Linux.  That's what I 
do and it seems to work pretty well.  Granted, it doesn't conform 100% 
to the Mac UI standards, but at least it works well.  I would be 
interested in hearing about your experiences if you try this.  Few 
people have tried all the combinations of Gnucash versions and 
operating systems.
