I do not think that this problem is actually with gnucash as it was working without problem until at least 2 days ago (when I last used it). Since then I have upgraded KDE to 4.3.2 (from 4.3.1) and a number of other upgraded. Just to be sure, I have run revdep-rebuild (which reported nothing to be done) and re-emerge gnucash but it still shows the same problem. The backtrace is:- Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

Seeing the no icons when I started pidgin and looking at the packages I had installed since it last worked led me to bug #288312 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 288312 ***
