I have three separate data files: personal and two for non-profit organizations. I've always started gnucash by selecting the data file.
I have tried putting a link to the data file on my desktop (both when I was using Ms and now with Linux.) The only problem is that the log files are created on the desktop. If I navigate to the data directory (folder) and double click the data file, the log files are created in the data directory. In Ms, I could have the link start in the data folder. Unfortunately, I haven't found how to do that in Linux yet.
