Isn't Gnucash still Gtk 1.2.x only? If so, there might be a problem
with the composite extension under X and Gdk - I believe that Gdk at
the time made assumptions about visuals which composite breaks.

Do you have the compositor compiled in to xfwm? Are you running with
the composite extension on?

Does this actually keep Gnucash from running?
