Hi Derek,

Thanks for the reply.  Because I use a Gnome desktop gnucash was
installed as part of the distro install from DVD on both my AMD Phenom
Desktop and the 64bit Compaq CQ43.  This same image installed perfect
working versions of gnucash the first time that Suse 12.1 was installed
on each.  I tried running it as root and suggested it install the config
files in the Home directory.  

I could remove the files using the package manager and then re-install
from the RPM for gnucash on the DVD and see how I go.
