Redo setup and get a navigation window where I can open my gnucash file. Dozens of crash reports in Console referencing gconfd-2. Eventually I can make entries and save the document. Quit and next time I start Gnucash I go through the same process again. I can start gnucash from the command line and it throws errors about stale NFS locks and ORBIT but also eventually works after I navigate to the data file. Roll back to 2.4.5 did not work; application will no longer start. Any ideas?

None. Sorry. I can only confirm the experience. My Mac is running OSX 10.6.7.

However, I installed 2.4.6 into a temporary location without deleting 2.4.5 so I dumped it and went back to work.
