We'll have 2.4.10 out tomorrow, but the problem it addresses is cut and paste, not crashing. 

Can you revert to the previous version and successfully run Gnucash? If so, make sure that all of the pages except the chart of accounts are closed (so that you have only one tab), then try upgrading again. If that doesn't work, try renaming the .gnucash and .gconf folders in your home directory, then starting gnucash.

Last, I'm a bit concerned about the provenance of your 2.4.9 download, because a release version shouldn't be displaying the development warning. Did you download it from the link on www.gnucash.org (which points to our files area at gnucash.sourceforge.net)?
