But there IS a way to open gnucash for another file. Or rather a way to 
start gnucash without it opening a file, thus allowing you to specify 
what file you want to open. The -nofile option << I don't know exactly

I am always opening gnucash that way since keeping four sets of books 
and the last opened is usually not the one I want to open.
