These preferences are stored in OS X' native defaults system. It appears the 
power outage has corrupted these in some way. These preferences are stored in 
/Users/<yourusername>/Library/Preferences/gnucash.plist
You can try to restore a backup of this file from before the power outage or 
reset your settings by removing that file.

Note the Library folder is hidden from the finder so to access it you'll have 
to use Go->Go to folder... (this is from OS  X 10.7, the name and menu 
location may have changed meanwhile).
