I'm running 2.4.10 under XP SP3 and having no such problem.

Yes, XP is still supported, and I tested the 2.4.10 release on XP before I
uploaded it to SourceForge.

Gconfd doesn't use Gtk, so it would be strange if 21886 is the problem. 

If you don't mind doing a bunch of downloads, you can do a bisect of sorts
with the nightly builds at http://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/2.4 . 21854
is the change right after the 2.4.9 release, and you say 21886 fails for
you. You can quickly check that it really is 21886 by trying 21873 (if
you've already done that and it works, great, it isn't clear from your
email, so just say so explicitly). If that also crashes, then try 21862. If
that works, try 21868 otherwise 21854.
