Ah, I didn't see that you had clicked on the Help button.  Sorry.
That does make it more likely that the problem is gtkhtml-related.
Let me go back and check some version issues.  It's likely that if
your version of gtkhtml is quite old it probably doesn't have a number
of bug fixes and features that I added to it.  I believe the current
stable release is 0.8.2, and my patches went into the 0.8.0 release.

No.  I'm just saying that the 1.5.x series of gnucash is for
development, and we should be coding for the APIs that will be
standard and current when we release.  That means they are bleeding
edge while we are developing, but stable when we release.  Is it
really that onerous to expect people to have a Helix (sorry, Ximian)
Gnome system that they can install with a single command?
