I did an emerge sync and emerge -u world, and Gnome was updated to 2.4. Since then, GnuCash crashes just after it displays the "Tip of the day". I completely uninstalled it (emerge unmerge gnucash), then reinstalled it with the following options: +nls +postgres +ofx (env USE="+nls +postgres +ofx emerge gnucash"). The build was succesful. Still crashes. Sadly, I don't have another Gentoo box where I could try this out. Here is the error message: gtkhtml-ERROR **: gconf error: Configuration server couldn't be contacted: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 aborting... Aborted (core dumped) Yet, gconf is running (gconf-2, new with Gnome 2.4? Could this be the problem?) plalonde@doublebarrel:plalonde$ ps ax | grep gconf 1786 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 5 This is GnuCash 1.8.4. Also, I have the +bonobo and +gtk2, +gtkhtml USE variables set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start GnuCash 2. 3. Actual Results: GnuCash crashes after displaying the Tip of the Day. Expected Results: It should start without crashing. :) emerge info: ------------ Portage 2.0.49-r13-2 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.8p1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache autoaddcvs sandbox buildpkg" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.noved.org/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://cs.ubishops.ca/pub/gentoo http://adelie.polymtl.ca/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg kde libg++ mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts svga java guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt opengl -foomaticdb gtk2 bonobo gd gtkhtml ipv6 joystick kerberos maildir mcal mozilla postgres sasl tetex tiff usb esd cjk 3dnow" Programs running: ----------------- init [keventd] [ksoftirqd_CPU0] [kswapd] [kscand] [bdflush] [kupdated] [kjournald] /sbin/devfsd /dev [khubd] [kjournald] [kjournald] /usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0 /usr/sbin/klogd -c 3 -2 /usr/sbin/cannaserver /usr/sbin/cupsd [portmap] [rpciod] [ntpd] /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/cron [xfs] /usr/sbin/ypbind /usr/sbin/ypbind /usr/sbin/ypbind /usr/sbin/ypbind /sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux /sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux /sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux /sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux /sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux /sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux [gdm] [gdm] /etc/X11/X :0 -nolisten tcp -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7 /usr/bin/gnome-session /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- /home/plalonde/.gnomerc kinput2 -canna /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 5 /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=18 gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-f d=22 [xscreensaver] gnome-smproxy --sm-config-prefix /.gnome-smproxy-CR4XVZ/ --sm-client-id 11ac1005 0a000106064830900000022630000 sawfish --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064834700000022630007 --sm-prefix ahwh28r jgb nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-SMFouW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064 831000000022630003 --screen 0 --no-default-window gnome-panel --sm-config-prefix /gnome-panel-kM4N7X/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000 106064831000000022630002 --screen 0 --profile default acme --sm-config-prefix /acme-gh51pW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a00010606518140000 0098580012 --screen 0 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-SMFouW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064 831000000022630003 --screen 0 --no-default-window nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-SMFouW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064 831000000022630003 --screen 0 --no-default-window nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-SMFouW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064 831000000022630003 --screen 0 --no-default-window nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-SMFouW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064 831000000022630003 --screen 0 --no-default-window nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-SMFouW/ --sm-client-id 11ac10050a000106064 831000000022630003 --screen 0 --no-default-window /usr/libexec/wnck-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Wncklet_Factory --oaf-i or-fd=28 /usr/libexec/mixer_applet2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet_Factory - -oaf-ior-fd=30 /usr/libexec/drivemount_applet2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_DriveMountApplet _Factory --oaf-ior-fd=32 /usr/libexec/gkb-applet-2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_KeyboardApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=34 /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet_Fa ctory --oaf-ior-fd=36 /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet_Fa ctory --oaf-ior-fd=36 /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet_Fa ctory --oaf-ior-fd=36 [aterm] bash [aterm] bash gabber /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 24 [aterm] bash ps axww -o command bash

Ok. I got it working. I checked the bugs related to gtkhtml, and found bug #28787. It seems gtkhtml needs gconfd-1 to be running. On my system, only gconfd-2 is running. So when I start gconfd-1, and then GnuCash, it works fine. I don't know if gconfd-1 is supposed to be running or not (bug or feature?). Anyways, I should be able to live with that. This bug is thus a duplicate of 28787 I guess. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28787 ***
