I went to apt-get.org and found a site that back-ported GNUCash 1.8.4
to woody.  There were two sites and I included this line in my
sources.list:

# GNUCash
deb http://mirror.raw.no/ gnome2.2/

It is based on gnome2.2 as you can tell, and I had to download quite a
few files.  It might be a better solution than unstable.
