[GNC] Report Error on Flatpak

[Charlie Morrison]

It could be this:

There is an issue rendering reports in some Linux systems.  The report 
information is there but you can't see it.

The workaround is to set an environmental variable that disables 
compositing in Webkitgtk. You can check to see if this fixes it for you 
by starting Gnucash in the terminal using the following command:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental 
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.
