[GNC] Linux gnucash saves files to home directory.

[Dr. Gideon Fell]

Colleagues,
	A quick hint. I originally installed the package from my distribution, 
Debian. Opened GnuCash and saved the GnuCash data file into ~/GnuCash, 
where I wanted it. This put the file into the ~/GnuCash directory. THEN 
I installed from flatpak. Went to ~/GnuCash, and opened the GnuCash data 
file from there, Ever since, even as I update via flatpak, it 
automatically uses that file. Your mileage may vary.
