Probably not something that 'simple', but close:

She *really* should set things up properly -- it is not really that
hard and she might find it helpful and useful in the long run, but... 
What she can do is start GnuCash and use the new file wizard
(File=>New=>New File) and select 'A Simple Checkbook' and uncheck
'Common Accounts' when she gets to the account creation frame.  This
will create the minimum set up. 

She can now put all of her transactions in the 'Checking Account',
making all deposits from the 'Income' account and all withdrawals to the
'Expenses' account.
