There's a bug in the main window startup code:
If user tries to open a file that has a lock on it (e.g. because a
previous gnucash crash left the dangling lock), and then answers
'no' to the 'do you want to break the lock' question, then no main
window shows up; but gnucash doesn't exit, and cannot be ^C'ed.
Similarly for other similar startup goofs (e.g bad sql database/
other file error).

Previously, a blank window came up.  

A blank window must come  up in this circumstance; since gnucash
remembers the last file opened, and if tht file is locked, then there
is no other way to get to the gnucash controls when starting gnucash
from a menu.
