Hi Jan-Erik, another thing that might have an effect is whether you  
used the linux "installer" or just the bundle/tar.gz download of  
Moneydance.  If the latter then Moneydance doesn't have a way to know  
if it is already running.  However if Moneydance was installed using  
the installer program then the launcher should detect that Moneydance  
is already running (unless it is somehow broken).

Another thing you can do is just to drag the downloaded OFX/QFX file  
into the main Moneydance window, which should produce the desired  
result.

Thanks,
Sean
