Hi. I had given up on this subject after the last mail, since I got no
more reply, but I will be more than happy to support you :-)

Right.

Cant say anything about gtkwidgets, since I don't know enough about this
things to exactly know what they are, but I get the same error messages
when starting gnucash in a terminal. Missed it before, since I started
it through an desktopicon.

Right. I don't use the them either, but I found that strange from the
beginning, since in the account the main account window the EUR symbol
is displayed correctly.

I don't really know if there is a place for the EUR symbol to appear in
any of the guppi charts I have created to check this, but I could find
it nowhere. The axis is just labeled with "EUR". Don't know if there
should be a EUR symbol appearing anywhere.
 
Mayba a note at the end: I had those problems allready when running
under SuSE 7.3 as far as I can remember. So I guess this is nothing
distro specific.
