Hang on startup

[David Reiser]

start with gnucash --nofile, then use the file menu to open your  
datafile

I opened a bug on this -- the persistent splash screen prevents the  
warning about a locked datafile from appearing so you can tell  
gnucash to "open anyway". If your last session ended badly, the data  
file lock isn't released, and the next time you open gnucash you  
should get a warning about the possibility that the data file is  
already in use. Most users always click the "open anyway" button in  
this dialog. But the dialog never shows now that the splash screen is  
set to display until the file opens.
