I vote for not over-engineered solution and, I suppose simple lock for all database (only one can write) is OK.
My clients/partners will not use SQL backend. They use Gnucash because it can be installed and used as many other standalone applications. It is important, that Gnucash save data in file, which can be easy copied, opened from shared filesystem, and it can be easily opened by doubleclick similarly to other used files in office applications. There are plenty of client-server accounting applications, I have looked at LedgerSMB and even play around Openbravo. But these are much more complicated, than Gnucash (especially on Linux) which can install every accountant himself. I believe most of Gnucash users are still private, not business users, so please don't rate easiness too outdated and/or unimportant.
