And /tmp/gnucash.trace was EMPTY?  I find that very hard to believe!
What do you get from:

  zcat /home/jack/DBC | head

This is also worrysome..  Looks like you might have a broken
build or something.

Not responding???   That's also worrysome.

What window manager do you use?  Have you enabled any WM special
features?
