Thanks David, I was looking for that the other day and somehow glanced over it. Indeed, it is still there in 3.4. (about to install 3.5 shortly) I suppose, then, since preferences are user rather than book based that’s why the buttons were already there. I didn’t try to start GC from a fresh user perspective. I’d have to try an old copy of 2.6, but I seem to recall this being labeled as ‘enable business features’ (which also added the special accounts and added the Business menu) not just ‘enable extra buttons’, but my memory could be faulty.
