And I just tested on an iBook G4 running Leopard, using a copy of the dmg I uploaded to Sourceforge. Gnucash started up and ran fine, twice. Something must have gotten screwed up on your PPC laptop.

Try this from Terminal:
sudo rm /opt/gnucash-2.2.9
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Gnucash.app
rm -rf ~/.gnucash
rm -rf ~/.gconf*

Then drag Gnucash.app from the Gnucash-PPC.2.2.9.dmg to /Applications and try again.
