How did you get GnuCash 2.4.7 on your 10.04 LTS system?  I have the
same OS, and the version of GnuCash on it is 2.2.9.  Indeed, I had a
catastrophic system failure last fall, and found that I couldn't move
the 2.2.9 xml files I had onto a more recent (11.10) Ubuntu release
using 2.4.x .  I'm still closing up the financial year, so I haven't
followed up to see whether this is an Ubuntu problem or a GnuCash
problem.  I have a feeling it has something to do with Ubuntu and its
slightly strange ways, but it's hard to be sure.

Best,

A
