Yea, you need to be careful about which version of gtk.  We had been
trying to keep it at gtk-2.2, but I suspect we'll give in and update
to 2.4 if the g2 branch doesn't complete sometime "soon".

Where in the library does it die?
Did you try running with valgrind?

No, you're not missing anything.  You're right.

Well, I use --prefix=/opt/gnucash-g2 --enable-opt-style-install
--enable-ofx but you don't have to do that if you don't want to.
