Other options are:

1/ Use an encryption tool such as GPG to encrypt/decrypt the file 
   before/after starting gnucash.

2/ House your data-file within an encrypted file system which 
   periodically times-out.

We've generally resisted implementing this within gnucash -- which is a
personal finance program, and not a security tool.
