Then it must be disappointed these days... ;-) Anyway, nothing to worry about. However, it would help if you used 1.8, as I'm not sure exactly how 1.6 differs in that respect. According to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165492 , it is feasible to just switch to 1.8 and keep GnuCash happy. Thanks, Ludo'.
