I know what it is - I normally shut down Gnucash via the window manager
control, not by clicking the "Exit" button.  When I tried exiting via
the "Exit" button it worked correctly and wrote a much more normal MDI
Session.  On a restart the "welcome to 1.6" report is no longer there.

I submitted a patch last week because I couldn't close the program at
all via the WM control, and maybe that patch didn't do the right thing
with MDI.  The change was to update gnc_main_window_destroy_cb to call
gnc_shutdown(0), which was what gnc_main_window_file_shutdown_cb was
already doing.

Maybe you have some better ideas on how this should work?
