It was a magic wand after all.  Unlikely as it may sound, it works correctly 
when gnucash is configured with --enable-gui.  With that configure option, it 
builds /usr/lib/libgw-gnc.so, etc.

I built/run it under gnome-2 (although I also have gnome-1.4 installed).  I 
wonder if that was confusing the configure system?
