They are compatible. But the preferences file has been renamed somewhere in 
the 2.3.x development process.

So now GnuCash doesn't remember which tabs/windows you had open.
This change uncovered another bug which results in your "empty" screen. This 
bug has been fixed after the release of 2.3.11, so unfortunately F13 missed 
it.

To continue to work, simply go to View -> New Accounts Page, which will open 
your accounts overview again and you should be good to go. This inconvenience 
will only happen once.
