It started from my comment that OS X Finder can't pass a file name to 
GnuCash when GnuCash is started by double-clicking on a .gnucash file. 
When you double-click on a .gnucash file when GnuCash isn't running, 
GnuCash starts, but uses the most recently used file, not the file that 
was double-clicked.

John Ralls seems to think this is not a bug, while Geert Janssens seems 
to think it is. Take your pick.

I didn't mention anything about passing arguments on the command line. 
All of that came from other posters.
