Yes, Ximian Gnome trashing your box is definately related to and is caused

Some time ago, it also took me quite lonk to install gnucash.

Full download of gnucash and all necessary rpms, if you don't have Gnome

I agree. It is pathetic! Not only are there an assanine number of
dependencies, but some of the gnome RPM's I donloaded from rpmfind.net
installed is /usr, and some in /opt/gnome, and gnucah can't seem to
handle this. It want's them in one place or the other, not both.
Dan Kegel
When I tried a while ago to install gnucash, the dependencies were many.
I just looked at the RPM for 1.5.95, and the dependencies are now legion.
Voila:
[root@danq downloads]# rpm -i gnucash-1.5.95-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libbonobo-print.so.2 is needed by gnucash-1.5.95
