Um, just to be sure, did you undo your changes to Gnucash before trying it in the new userid? If you did, that it failed when launched from the newuser account indicates that Fink *isn't* at fault.

Googling suggests that the launchd plist is in /sw/share/dbus/launchd.

Is there a gconfd running? If so, it pointed at Fink?
