What if you started `gnucash --logto=stderr' from the terminal, does it
print out anything useful?  Can you open
$prefix/share/gnucash/glade/account.glade with glade-2 and show the
hierarchy druid?  Is there any reason why you use libgnome-2.18.1 and
libgnomeui-2.20, i.e. does updating the primer help?
