Comment(by mp at dpj.sent.com):

 I can confirm that this error is a dbus problem, not a gnucash problem:
 {{{
 Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you
 need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks
 due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for
 information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to
 connect to socket /tmp/dbus-aOhufhZy8k: No such file or directory)
 }}}

 I compiled a simple test program (from the dbus docs) which has a similar
 error. When there is no current session dbus daemon instance, libdbus uses
 an 'autolaunch' feature which seems to be broken.
