Thanks for the hints John. gdb wasn't helpful, so I decided to track down GtkCalendar. It no longer seems available in my distro. Finally located https://github.com/debmint/gtkcalendarentry -- but its configure.ac fails. I'm suspecting GtkCalendar is being deprecated. It's not worth any more effort on my part... Building gnucash 4.8 was a cakewalk compared to this.
