You may be interested in the only reply I have so far received to my
post on the Debian user list:

The subject of Debian bug report I filed was the libglib2.0-0 package,
and the above answer refers only to that package.  Your comment that I
found other packages nevertheless suggests that it may still be a
libglib2.0-0 problem.

In any event, my next step now is to address my Debian bug report to the
*Debian* Gnucash maintainer, who probably at this point is unaware of
the problem, and also add to that report the stack-trace information I
sent to you.  (Thanks by the way for introducing stack-tracking to me.)

The result of the correspondence so far is to raise a second issue.  The
first is solving my problem.  The second is where the ultimate
responsibility to solve my problem lies.  You suggest starting with
Debian, which I tend to agree is the correct thing to do first, and
which I will do.  If it cannot be solved at the Debian level, then
perhaps it would be time for the Debian people and the Gnucash people to
talk to each other.
