The above resulted in the following:

Did you have similar results?

I might still give the above a try (as I have no other better ideas), 
but it looks redundant.  gconf* and everything that depend on them were 
portupgraded by the above command.  But as I said... I've no better 
ideas at this point.  And I need my gnucash back.
