You should realize that Gnucash is a GNOME 1.4 app, not a GNOME 2.0
app.  If you have a pure GNOME 2.0 desktop, then Gnucash will not work,
most likely.  This is documented in the README:

############
Dependencies
------------

The following packages are required to be installed to run GnuCash:

  Gnome 1.4: see www.gnome.org for more information.


There is currently 1 person working on the GNOME 2.0 port efforts. 
You're welcome to join, or at least try to get it working on a pure
GNOME 2.0 system.  Your efforts and experiences would be well-received
and appreciated.

Whatever your decision, good luck.
