Thanks. In the meantime I tried gnucash, and it fails with the same
dbus-related issue. How can I make sure dbus is running? I have the
following two dbus processes running:

$ ps aux | grep dbus
dragos   58115   0.0  0.0  2446912    788   ??  S    Mon10AM   0:00.00
/opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --session
messagebus    55   0.0  0.0  2435448    732   ??  Ss   Fri03PM   0:00.01
/opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork

What else should I see? How can I find out more about what dbus is doing/not
doing right?

thanks,
iulian
