slib on ximian gnome

[Tim Boring]

Yes, this is a problem with Ximian's packages from 1.4.  In the
short-term, the workaround is:

1. su to root
2. start gnucash (from the terminal)
3. close gnucash
4. now you should be able to start gnucash as a regular user

If I remember correctly, the Ximian staff said this was a bug in their
guile package.  This workaround does fix the problem until they release
a bugfix for their guile package.
