Thanks Derek, but that's my issue. $DISPLAY is set but gnucash doesn't
forward the display ot the xserver in $DISPLAY unless I force it by
manually supplying the $DISPLAY variable to the --display parameter.

e.g.

This works:

gnucash --display="$DISPLAY"


While this doesn't:

gnucash


Other non-gnome x applications work as expected. Gnome applications also
require me to append --display "$DISPLAY" to the commandline.
