Native Quartz version of gnucash

Thu May 21 05:02:46 PDT 2009

Thanks for the tip.  I found some other hints regarding X11 in 10.5, and had
to clear out an "export DISPLAY" setting in my .bash_profile and blow away
my org.x.X11 and org.x.X11_launcher plists.  After that, I could just launch
xterm from a Terminal and X11 would fire up almost instantly with the xterm
window.
So, at this point I don't think I'll mess with my font cache(s).

Now, if I could just get my Quartz gnucash installed, I'd be good to go.

Thanks,
