Here's a bug report I've been sitting on for a while.  I've been meaning
to dig in to it further but haven't had the time so I figured I should
at least post it in case anyone else has experienced this or knows a fix.

Generating reports in gnucash cause it to die when running in the
default i3 session.

If I run in the default GNOME session it works fine.

I believe the problem is related to not having a running GSettings
daemon.

Below is a shortened backtrace from the gnucash process as it died
trying to generate a balance sheet.

As you can see it dies somewhere in GIO related to settings (#3
g_settings_set_property).

As a ratpoison user, I also suffered from problems caused by the lack of
a GSettings backend when not running Gnome; for example, the preferences
would not be saved across GnuCash restarts.

To fix this, I had to manually install dbus and dconf to my profile. The
attached patch automates this by automatically propagating those
dependencies when GnuCash is installed. It would be nicer to make dbus
and dconf work as regular inputs but this would require patching the
sources; I haven't investigated if how feasible this would be.

Could you try the patch and see if it fixes your issues?

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: gnucash: Propagate dbus and dconf.

This ensures that a GSettings backend is present; this is necessary to persist
the GnuCash settings and state.

* gnu/packages/gnucash.scm (gnucash)[propagated-inputs]: Add dbus and dconf.
[phases]: Define HOME, which prevents multiple warnings at build time.

FYI, we have a dbus-service (maybe it didn't exist when this bug report
was created).  Please see "(guix) Desktop Services" in the Guix manual.
If you set it up, does it help, or is there more work to be done to fix
this problem when running Gnucash outside of GNOME?

Note also that Gnucash has been updated since this bug report was
originally opened.  In particular, on the current core-updates branch,
we have upgraded Gnucash to 3.0.  You might consider trying that
version.  However, please be careful and make backups before doing so,
since there are backwards-incompatible changes going from Gnucash 2 to
3.  For details on the changes, see the Gnucash News posts here:
