I ran into this problem and did not find a configuration option or
command-line option to over-ride the default behavior.  I agree it
should be configurable, probably with the options "Empty" "Last
Visited" and "Default: <filename>."

As a kludge, I started opening gnucash with an explicit filename arg,
i.e.,

	gnucash /tmp/gnucash

/tmp/gnucash is a empty, read-only gnucash file.  I think this gives the
behavior you want.
