I guess you are talking about bug 587843:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587843

I build GnuCash with configure/make/make install at the command line, and
against libraries built with MacPorts. So I could apply the patches here and
make sure that it at least doesn't break my build.

To really test the patches I assume I would have to switch from MacPorts to
jhbuild so I can build GTK-OSX. I might try that if I can figure out how to
keep my MacPorts build environment at the same time, at least until I can
fully switch to jhbuild at a more convenient time. I would like, for the
moment, to be able to continue working on register bugs without worrying
about a learning curve for a different build tool.

I don't use fink but maybe Dave or someone else can test that, even if only
to make sure the build doesn't break.
