I am proving that I should have posted this to the beginners list, but anyway I'm here now. My fink installation is in /sw. It is a brand new install and gnucash2 is the only package I have installed, but I also have macports on the computer which is what I assume you mean by cross-contamination. The macports installation came over when I transferred my files to the new computer using the Migration Assistant. I removed macports, removed gconf2 recursively, then reinstalled gnucash2. It still freezes at the splash screen with the gonf.xml.defaults error in Console. I did the command "sudo mkdir /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml/defaults" and got "no such file or directory". I am still able to start gnucash as root using "sudo /sw/bin/gnucash", but cannot get past the splash screen as a normal user, and would prefer to not run it as root.
