I am not SURE what you are asking. Programs are programs, data, is data, 
even application data as long as it is stored in your data area and not 
in some file in a program directory.

Now there MIGHT be something different with gnucash under linux (or 
unix, etc.). But have you tried simply replacing your new home directory 
with the one you have on backup. Didn't that restore ALL of your data 
files?  << since presumably each user under a linux system that was
