Since that works, you could make a custom application launcher to do
it; I think putting "LANG=en_CA.utf8 gnucash" in the command box might
work --- if not, stick those two commands in a bash script and point
the launcher at that.

I'm curious about this bit:

  I am in Canada, but I keep my Linux box set the USA locale because
  more software just works that way.

I've been using en_GB.utf8 for years and I've never noticed any
problems (except that there used to be some issues with "£" in
gnucash) --- what difficulties have you had?
