Announcement: GnuCash 2.4.8 Release

[suk wah bernstein]

on quitting gnucash properly. since there are no register windows open, can
I just hit Quit?

there's only one line for dbus search. i hit the red poly-sided red icon
'Quit Process.' the line disappeared. then i quit from drop down menu.
thanks
