Clarification: I did not mean to say that Gandalf's death was an excuse, the only reason or even the main reason for Boromir to take the ring. I merely meant to say that it could have been one of the contributing factors.

That's a very good example, Guinevere. Past trauma with Frodo is probably the most obvious, yet it never occured to me. I don't really have anything to add to your theory except that I concur.
