hmmm... okay, a couple of options. 1) run gnucash from the command line: gnucash --nofile which will open an empty gnucash instance. If that doesn't crash, then try opening your file from the file menu at that point. I suspect this won't work though, that it will crash. 2) install version 2.2.9 from squeeze. this may be problematic as it may bring in lots of gnome stuff you may not want. I haven't hacked on gnucash in a while, so I can't say what the state of 2.2.6 was, but I know there were a couple of problem releases for a bit there. It may be one of them. 3) get on #gnucash on irc.gnome.org and ask there. The channel can be pretty slow, so you'll have to lurk around for a while. Those guys can probably figure it out, but be prepared to defend your reasons for not moving up to 2.2.9, the current release. 4) build gnucash from source. This isn't as hard as you might think. do apt-get build-dep gnucash and start there. you'll probably want to use the --enable-opt-style-install to put it in a different path to keep from mixing up with dpkg.
