Gnucash or Gnucash2? In fink's repositories, the latest versions are  
packaged as gnucash2. I wouldn't expect the gnucash 1.8.x series (the  
gnucash package) to run on Leopard.

What happens if you just open Terminal.app and type "gnucash" (same  
command launches gnucash for both the gnucash and gnucash2 packages)?
i.e., leave the launcher app out of the process for now.
