First thing is to start from a console or shell
I'm not sure how to get a shell in gnome, because i don't use it, and if you 
don't know how, someone else will speak up.
in the shell at the $ type gnucash so it looks like this 
liz at 4[~]$ gnucash
and press enter.
You will get some text output. 
Copy and paste into an email to the list.
