Ok, these were to ensure our basic assumption is correct. You're effectively running /usr/bin/ gnucash and not some alias or link to another location. > Also can you start gnucash once as follows: > > gnucash --log "gnc.app-utils=debug" > > You can leave out the name to your data file.

I could have asked to filter more aggressively (but it was very late here when I wrote my last mail). This is the info I was looking for: > [gfec_try_load] looking for /etc/gnucash/config * 09:00:08 DEBUG > <gnc.app-utils> > > [gfec_try_load] looking for /home/dellbert/.config/gnucash/config-user.scm > * 09:00:08 DEBUG > <gnc.app-utils> > > [gfec_try_load] trying to load > /home/dellbert/.config/gnucash/config-user.scm * 09:00:08 DEBUG > <gnc.app-utils.gsettings> > These lines show that the config-user.scm file is found. No idea why this wouldn't print the value of XDG_DATA_DIRS to your gnucash trace file. But if needed we can debug that later.
