This is what I get after trying to run gnucash: $ /usr/bin/gnucash Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libpixmap.so", Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libpixmap.so", (...) This message repeats lots of times. I tried to strace to see what it was trying to open, and found this: open("/usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines/libpixmap.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) In fact, this file doesn't exist on my system. Tried to 'locate libpixmap.so', and found it in this place: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libpixmap.so Just as a blind shot, I tried to symlink one to another to see what would happen, and as I expected, errors came in: $ /usr/bin/gnucash Gtk-WARNING **: GModule initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (major mismatch) Gtk-WARNING **: GModule initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (major mismatch) (...) So, it seems it's an incompatibility between gnucash and the installed gtk+ version, right? I tried to re-emerge gnucash, but it didn't help much. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

it's some old version of gtk-engines (gtk-1 themes) that you used to have but no longer have. Please remove that symlink you made. You may want to emerge gtk-engines-0.12 again, OR see if `revdep-rebuild -- -p` has anything to say
