I'm blaming slackware for dropping their support. Gnome made it
perfectly capable of co-installing gnome-1.4 and gnome-2, but
slackware decided not to include both versions. So I blame slackware
for not distributing the dependencies anymore. This is not gnucash's
fault. All other Distros still support gnucash + gnome-1.4. Only
slackware (and RHEL) do not.

I'm very well aware of this, thank you.

Wow. Now I'm impressed. I'm impressed that so many people are
willing to shoot themselves in the foot using a distribution that's
effectively not maintained. There's no way one person can maintain a
full distribution in any competent manner. Wow.
