Yes. There's already https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630740 
reporting the same issue.

The issue is caused by the version upgrade of the gtk and gnome packages. 
However, the upgrade itself cannot be the problem as long as anything is 
compiled against the new versions.

I suspect the problem is in the webkit package, because those are pre-built 
binaries, built against an older gtk version. I started gnucash without any 
report windows open and it worked as long as only the account hierarchy was 
visible. Opening any other window will cause a crash. I'd first suspect 
webkit, but OTOH some incompatibilities between the gtk binary packages might 
also be a problem. Sorry for that.

Regards,

Christian
