The part of the application bundle that actually runs Gnucash is the 
shell script /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash. You can 
find it in the Finder by Control-clicking (or right-clicking on a 
multi-button mouse) on /Applications/Gnucash, and then selecting Show 
Package Contents. That will then open a new Finder window in 
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents. Navigate into MacOS, and then use 
TextEdit to add the "export TZ=" line that you want to force Gnucash to 
run in, after making a backup copy of the Gnucash script.
