You've managed to set a keyboard shortcut on a menu item (probably one of the Actions>Online Banking entries), which you can do on Linux by highlighting the menu item and pressing a key combination. This is stored in the file ~/.gnucash/accelerator-map. You can edit that file (when Gnucash isn't running) or you can find the menu item with the offending shortcut and change it to something else.
