Yes, it seems a bit drastic though! :-)

It's actually /home/chris/.local/share/gnucash/books (or, strictly,
some system variable specifies the directory I believe).

Even opening GnuCash from a menu or icon (rather than the command
line) I'd really prefer that it didn't default to the last set of
accounts opened.
