I see your point but then Slackware is used a lot in server environments 
where there's no point in running X-Windows anyway. I actually use fvwm2, 
not KDE or gnome, and gnucash works very well with this window manager. 
One day, if I get time, I will try & build gnucash on Slack 10 or 11 and 
if successful, will share the result.
