Someone recommended simply upgrading to gnucash for Red Hat 7.0, and
that did the trick.

At least that allowed me to start it and open accounts. But a new
problem: When I do so, I'm taken to a different virtual desktop, and
gnucash opens there. For example, if I'm currently viewing desktop 4
and click the gnucash icon I created on my Panel, desktop 1 appears
and gnucash opens on it. All other applications open in the current
desktop.
