no

but since gnucash seems reasonably well behaved (except for the same  
bus error that happened before the switch), I'm crossing my fingers.  
It looks like Fink may be getting close to making it reasonable to  
have my Fink tree compiled with gcc 4, but until they do, I'm not  
really likely to be able to get all the gnome components recompiled  
on my own.

I did compile g-wrap 1.9.6 outside my fink tree and used it (config  
at least puts the 1.9.6 files earlier in the -L list than the fink  
1.3.4 versions), and I've had a couple other newer things outside  
fink as well (libofx, and aqbanking). I realize I'm tempting fate,  
but as long as things are behaving themselves, I figure I'll keep  
learning more details as things don't work for me.

BTW - this gnucash crash happens in the 1.8 tree as well. I always  
had trouble editing sx's -- so much that I gave up trying. I just  
deleted transactions and recreated new ones. I never got around to  
tracking down what was happening (this was very early in my gnucash  
experience, and I wasn't comfortable getting nasty messages about my  
data file being unavailable after a crash). It was mostly my not  
getting used to specifically Entering transactions before trying to  
leave an edit session dialog. At least in the normal register view  
the program asks if you want to enter the transaction before changing  
focus.
