gnucash compilation and installation from svn: why "a gnome druid"

Hi Raphaël,

may you try without Compiz, i.e. without desktop effects?
Something seems to reference a "Compiz session", but what that is and 
whether it is crucial, I do not know.

Honestly, I would have expected that GnuCash's output contains this 
"Could not load support for gnome" line as well...

Ciao,
