I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the command line for the call of
gnucash and the error did not appear, and the dialog came up to allow
me to set the gconf path.  I did this and re-booted and now gnucash
runs fine without needing to set the environment variable.
Unfortunately I don't know whether a re-boot would have allowed it to
run without the environment variable in the first place, or whether
the fact that it ran once fixed the problem somehow, so I will have to
go back to an earlier snapshot of my virtual machine and do it all
again.  AAARHGH!  I am running virtualbox on a rather underpowered
machine so that is rather tedious.
